Sunday, September 20, 2015; 10:00am PST TV: FOX Local Radio: 107.7 FM; 1050 AM Venue: Heinz Field Steelers Projected Starting LineupSteelers Injury Report:Questionable: Cortez Allen (CB, knee) Probable:Will Allen (S, knee) - Brandon Boykin (CB, groin) - Mike Mitchell (S, hip) - Ryan Shazier (LB, knee) - Sean Spence (LB, hamstring) 49ers Injury Report: Out: Reggie Bush (RB, calf) Questionable: Bruce Ellington (WR, ankle) Steelers Rankings (2015) Offense (Yards Gained) Passing: 5th Rushing: 6th Defense (Yards Allowed) Passing: 25th Rushing: 11th Key Matchups - Kenneth Acker vs #84 WR Antonio Brown Starting the second game of his career, Acker will find himself 1v1 with one of the league's premier route runners in Antonio Brown. Brown displays elite quickness in and out of his cuts and an array of double moves. Perfect Post-Out pattern. 1-Break to the Post 2-Get low to have optimal body control 3-Break to the Out Facing press, Brown has ways to beat that as well. - NaVarro Bowman vs #72 C Cody Wallace With Maurkice Pouncey injured, the former 49er 4th round draft pick Cody Wallace takes over at Center. As the team's best blitzer, Bowman will butt heads with Wallace. The frequency is not known, but Bowman will be coming up the A gap. - Ahmad Brooks/Aaron Lynch vs #34 RB DeAngelo Williams With Le'Veon Bell suspended, the veteran Williams is now the starter and had a good game in week 1. Most of his runs were off the edge where Brooks and Lynch will need to hold contain on the edges. - Torrey Smith vs #41 LCB Antwon Blake Torrey had a quiet game in week 1 with Hyde taking center stage. With the Steelers defensive backfield reeling from injuries and having a poor showing in week 1, the former Jaguar (cut) will be head up with Torrey Smith on many plays. The Steelers know about Torrey all too well from his days as a Raven. It will be interesting to see how much help they roll to Blake's side of the field. This isn't Blake, but it is a PIT CB. _________________________________

Defense has eased up. Not the same situation.

Yeah the D isn't even bringing pressure

Mangeni deserves a lot of blame for not doubling brown every play

Exactly. Everyones like, "look how great we look now". Why can't we look like this all game? Simple, Steelers aren't really playing hard anymore. The game is in the bag.

Yeah I think Kap is the lone bright spot in this game.

Yup. He looks comfirtable.

No interceptions either.

You had to say it... Into incoming
