One thing that stood out to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as he watched film of the Denver Broncos' 30-7 loss to the Ravens last Sunday could impact how the Steelers try to attack the No. 1 defense in the NFL.

"It seemed like in the second half, (the Ravens) did a lot of no-huddle," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "They kind of just picked up tempo and had a couple of plays that got things going."

So does that mean Roethlisberger, who excels in a no-huddle attack, has been lobbying Bruce Arians to employ the change-of-pace offense more against the Broncos?

"He lobbies every week," Arians said.

"It's something that Ben likes to do," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "We've got a great feel for it, and we've had some success running the no-huddle."

Coming off a bye week they should have a lot of extra looks ready.
Denver's O line is quick but not big, teams that can match their quickness and still have an anchor type will do well on them. The Ravens did just that to a good measure of success.

The Ravens had Ngata get chop blocked early in the game but he played through it on a limp for a while after. Tomlin probably highlights this event to the crew before the game since Hampton is the same kind of player. Keep him healthy and it's all good for where their players are in relation to mirroring those Bronco guards.
