Their D just doesn't stop us. It's solid and competent but I just don't think its fast enough to deal with Griffon.

To me, the only question is whether or not are D can slow them down. They have no running game. They're down to their 3rd string RB who, despite his good game last week, is pedestrian at best. Dwyer started earlier this year and good D's stopped him cold. If we can hold AP, we can stop him.

It's going to be up to a very good Ben and his very good receivers. Wallace makes his living off the big play and Brown on the other side is, I think, the better all around receiver. I expect Haslett to do what he has done in the past, do his best to take away the deep ball and let Ben do his worst with the TE and short routes. They'll score but not quickly - unless M. Williams is supposed to be cover the deep route.

Skins - 32
Steelers - 21
