Why to watch
Ben Roethlisberger has been something of a house of horrors this season, and a turnover machine. And the low-scoring Steelers could find themselves in something of a shootout here. Can anyone on Houston's defense account for Mike Wallace?
Inside story
Who would have thought that through three weeks the Texans would be more physical than the Steelers, at least on offense? Houston has a power-running attack going and Pittsburgh is averaging just 3.3 yards per game. If Houston's offensive line can win in the trenches again this week, you have to like their chances. The Steelers are still searching for an offensive identity with a banged-up offensive line.
