1. Can Bryon Leftwich hold the fort while Big Ben is out? Byron Lefwhich is former NFL starter that will play in place of Roethlisbereger but he has always been a lower echelon signal-caller. The Steelers pass protection is shoddy and the immobile Leftwhich could be a sitting duck back there.

2. Can the receivers gain respect? Santonio Holmes was one of the most underrated wideouts in the NFL and now that he is departed there are a modest bunch in his place. Hines Ward is the best of the bunch on paper but he is aging rapidly.The Pittsburgh Steelers AFC North Odds to win the division +290 NFL Odds.
