Tennessee @ Pittsburgh Game Thread

The schedule's cake. They'll re-establish the run eventually, if for nothing else but to protect leads in the second half and burn clock. Luckily, they've drafted WR's every year since Ben came on board so they have the weapons to air it out when needed, like last night. Rookie Mike Wallace made the catch that got them into FG range in OT, for example.

Expect most teams to pretty much abandon the run against Tennessee this year. Fisher is expecting it, and kept 10 DB's.

As for the game, losing Polamalu is the only reason this went to OT. With him on the field, I don't think Tennessee ever sees the endzone. Outside of one nice run, the running game of Tennessee was stuffed, and the Titans simply can't adapt to that situation and start going to the air.

Great way to start the season. Hope the rest of the games this week can match the excitement of this one. The rematch will be just as brutal and hard hitting as this one.
