Pittsburgh gave up some big passing plays in Week 1 but clamped down by the 4th quarter picking off Daunte Culpepper a couple times. The are doing a good job this week in simulations forcing Leftwich into more INTs than TDs. Ben Roethlisberger wants to play and in simulations he is playing a good game. His passer rating is over 90 on the road in Jacksonville. Fred Taylor will not have the room to run against Pittsburgh like he did against Dallas. Willie Parker and newly acquired Najeh Davenport don't have that much success either and it's a pretty low scoring game. Both defenses are doing their job, but Pittsburgh's big play receiving threats lift them to the win.
