Manning, Polamalu will match wits
| Why To Watch The Steelers get a second chance to slow the Colts' offense down after a 26-7 drubbing on Monday night in Week 12. This will be a game of contrasting styles with the Colts' high-powered offense against the Steelers' suffocation zone-blitz defense. The guessing game between Peyton Manning with his pre-snap audibles and the movement of SS Troy Polamalu, who is unpredictable on every play, should be fun to watch.
The questions in this game are simple: Can the Colts' defense stop the Steelers' run game and force Ben Roethlisberger to pass more than he wants to? Can the Colts offensive line give Manning enough pass protection to exploit a mediocre Pittsburgh coverage secondary? With both offenses being extremely creative, will we see this game turn on a gadget or trick play? Lots of stars and story lines make this must-watch football.
