Despite Pittsburgh’s success against the AFC, against NFC teams things haven’t gone quite as productively. Pittsburgh’s last two games against NFC opponents have been dreadful, and their weaknesses exposed. In Pittsburgh’s 15-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, QB Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 8 times. Last Sunday, against the New York Giants, Big Ben was sacked 5 times and threw 4 interceptions in a 21-14 loss. The Steelers are hoping that Monday’s trip to our nation’s capital changes the complexion of things.
"The whole NFC East is (similar to the Eagles and Giants)," Roethlisberger said. "They're throwing a lot of blitzes at you. They're all big guys who can move around and throw different looks at you and try to confuse you. We've seen it twice so far and we'll see it again this week." The OVER/UNDER for this Monday Night Football: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Washington Redskins game has been set at a combined total of 37 points.
The Steelers will have to deal with a Redskins’ “D”, which is currently ranked 6th in the NFL, allowing 278.1 yards per game. However, in part, the Skins defensive success is a result of an offense that controls the clock. “(Jason Campbell) is a very talented guy physically," said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. "He can escape the pressure, he has an extremely strong arm and he is a smart guy. He's making great decisions, moving the offense, and his team is winning."
