Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell vs. Ravens ILBs Zachary Orr and C.J. Mosley: The Ravens have been gashed by the opponents' running game the past two weeks, and Orr had his worst game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. Orr leads the Ravens in tackles with 124, but Bell is one of the best in the NFL. He has rushed for 1,146 yards on 241 carries, and his jump-cut style can cause problems for most defenses. Bell will isolate on Mosley one-on-one in passing situations. Edge: Steelers

Steelers CBs Artie Burns and Ross Cockrell vs. Ravens WRs Steve Smith Sr. and Mike Wallace: The Ravens went after Burns, a rookie, in the first game, and they'll go after him again in the second. Look for the Steelers to rotate their coverage toward his side to give him help. Smith and Wallace have been unhappy about their diminished roles in the offense in recent weeks, but they should be able to put those feelings aside because they are playing their dreaded rival. Look for Wallace to come up big. Edge: Ravens

Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey vs. Ravens NTs Brandon Williams and Michael Pierce: Pouncey, in his seventh season, is one of the better centers in the NFL. Williams likes playing against him because Pouncey has power, but the center's technique is good, allowing him to get leverage on a lot of bigger nose tackles. Williams and Pierce have to dominate the middle to keep Bell under control. This might be the best matchup of the game. Edge: Even
