Steelers Hotline:
Lee Flowers among others say that the Steelers will run the table for
the remainder of the season. Meaning, they will win the remainder of
their seven games. Impossible? No. Unlikely? Yes. I can't see the
Steelers winning seven straight with Oakland, Washington, and the New
York Giants on the schedule. Then again, they get the Raiders and Skins
at home, and have Cincinnati and the Giants on the road, as well as
finishing the season in San Diego. They also take on the Jaguars at
home. So in reality, it might be possible to win outright. For now
however, the team must concentrate on this weekend, and getting an
advantage of playing at home set in the right direction once again. They
will do just that. This defensive unit for Pittsburgh is the best in the
NFL right now. No questions asked. If they had a more potent offense,
this team would be in Super Bowl contention. But that is not the case,
although I see Kordell Stewart finding some offense against Philadelphia
this Sunday. You simply cannot keep Stewart from having an exceptional
game all season. Won't happen. And I think this might be the day we
finally see sparks coming from Plaxico Burress. The Steelers will win
this game, and could win it easily.
Pittsburgh 34, Philadelphia 9
