It’s always comforting when a
Authentic Martin St. Louis Jersey plan comes together. For weeks now, this Sunday’s Patriots-Steelers matchup has loomed on the schedule as the potential Game of the Year. Both teams have been at the top of the AFC for most of the fall, and this clash in Pittsburgh has long looked like it could determine home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Well, Week 15 is finally upon us, and the 11-2 Steelers will host the 10-3 Patriots in a battle for the all-important tiebreaker in the postseason standings.

It’s allowed several of the league’s least-potent offenses to excel, prompting questions about the plausibility of Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl hopes. Packers quarterback Brett Hundley tossed three touchdowns in a 31-28 loss to the Steelers in Week 12; he’d thrown for two scores in his previous five games combined. Pittsburgh plummeted from fifth in Football Outsiders’ defensive DVOA to 11th after allowing 38 points and 413 total yards to the Ravens last week. This unit has fallen off in a big way.Injuries certainly
Evgeni Malkin Jersey have played a role in that slide. The absence of linebacker Ryan
Joe Montana Authentic Jersey Shazier, who remains hospitalized after going down with a scary spinal injury in Week 13, was obvious during last Sunday’s 39-38 win over Baltimore. Sean Spence and Vince Williams struggled to make plays in the ground game, and Alex Collins was left free to run amok. The Ravens running back carried the ball 18 times for 120 yards and added another 46 yards receiving. I’m sure the Steelers’ issues stopping running backs won’t be problematic against the Patriots, who barely use theirs at all.Oh wait, they
Adam Thielen Jersey Womens absolutely do. All three of New England’s premier backs (Dion Lewis, James White, and Rex Burkhead) have at least 100 snaps in the passing game this season. This is a deep, flexible trio of players, all of whom fill specific roles, but can also be interchangeable within the Pats offense. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels should lean on all three on Sunday, and I’d expect to see plenty

http://www.dantecubed.com/dak-prescott-jersey-c-2_23.html Pittsburgh linebackers. The Steelers rank 29th in passing defense DVOA against running backs, and they face their toughest task in that regard this week.While White and Burkhead derive a significant portion of their value from the passing game, Lewis could go without a catch this weekend and still roast the Steelers. The Ravens found a ton of success against Pittsburgh by lining up in heavy formations and simply pounding the ball. No team in the league lines up in 21 personnel (two backs, two receivers, and a tight end) more
http://www.seahawksproshops.com/80-steve-largent-jersey-c-2_21.html than the Patriots, who use it a ridiculous 27 percent of the time. New England’s run-pass splits out of that formation are nearly identical (52 percent run, 48 percent pass), and the Pats are more than happy to run the ball down an opposing defense’s throat.Lewis is just as effective when working out of single-back sets. The play below is a basic misdirection concept that allows Tom Brady to subtly manipulate the defense by opening up to the left before getting the ball to Lewis on the right. That single turn puts the inside linebacker (Kiko
http://www.bengalsproclub.com/aj-green-jersey-c-1_2.html Alonso) in a precarious spot, and the result is a 22-yard gain.
