Team: Pittsburgh Steelers
Sport: Pro Football (NFL)
Stadium: Heinz Field
Head Coach: Bill Cowher
Super Bowls: None
Background:
A lot of fans didn't recognize the Steelers last year. They
wore the same black and gold uniforms, but the franchise didn't
resemble the one known for its bruising rushing attack and
suffocating defense.
In an attempt to address its rushing woes, Pittsburgh acquired
former Eagles running back Duce Staley early in free agency
as a complement to pounder Jerome Bettis. In part because
of injuries, Staley has not had 300 carries in a season since
1999. However, if Bettis stays healthy, Staley shouldn't expect
to log that many carries this year.
