** What are your thoughts?**
The safety net:Ravens safety Ed Reed was a GMC Defensive Player of the Week nominee for his two-pick performance last week. He has four interceptions in his last three games and might have opportunities for more if the Steelers' running game stalls, forcing Pittsburgh to throw the ball.
Flacco under pressure:Ravens rookie QB Joe Flacco faces a Steelers defense that has 45 sacks this season, tied with the Dallas Cowboys for tops in the league. Pittsburgh linebackers James Harrison (15) and LaMarr Woodley (11.5) have totaled 26.5 sacks, and Harrison needs one more to surpass Mike Merriweather for the single-season franchise record.
