It’s prediction time. After a quiet week from the Pittsburgh Steelers camp,Womens Brandon Fusco Jersey, it is time to think a little about how this week’s game against the Chicago Bears is going to go. It’s prediction time.

Offensively, the Steelers are going to come at the Bears defense in waves. Last week we saw Le’Veon Bell get fully integrated into the rushing offense with 27 carries and this week Chicago might get a good dose of him as a wide receiver as well. The passing offense is finding its stride and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is on the cusp of his first 300-yard passing game thanks to the continued improvement of Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant.

On defense, the team is going to do what they have done all season. Smother the run game and tee off on the quarterback. The Bears have running backs Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen to try and keep the Steelers’ defense off balance. Look for the linebackers to key the run game and allow the defensive line to attack quarterback Mike Glennon.

The only real question is whether or not the team will take this game seriously enough to win the game. This team feels more focused than those in the past so no letdown here.

3 storylines to keep an eye on in Steelers vs. Bears

What will you be paying attention to this week when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Chicago Bears? The final score is a given. Nothing would be better than to see Pittsburgh go to 3-0, but if we dig a little deeper there are more stories at work here. Beyond getting the win here are three storylines to keep an eye on.

Every time the Steelers give the football to Bell, you hold your breath for a moment in anticipation of him breaking that big play. His long run of the season has only been 15 yards. You have to assume the Steelers are going to make a concentrated, almost forceful effort to get Bell the football in space to allow him to break off a few big plays. It would be good for the team and a great boost for his confidence.

How the Steelers are adjusting their OL to injury, future injuries

The Steelers offensive line, Jan. 22, shown here, is preparing to face the Chicago Bears without Marcus Gilbert. Here's how. Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey (53), Sunday, 2017, guard Ramon Foster (73), and tackle Alejandro Villanueva (78) sit on the bench during the second half of the AFC championship NFL football game against the New England Patriots,Authentic T. J. Watt Jersey, in Foxborough, Mass.

Huddle up: Bears need to jump-start run game against stingy Steelers

The Bears are looking to shake off last weekend's 29-7 embarrassing loss to the Buccaneers but will have their hands full this weekend against a 2-0 Steelers squad that looks to be one of the league's best. Here's our snapshot look at Sunday's game.

Can the Bears be more productive with their running attack?

The numbers in Week 2 were staggering with backs Jordan Howard (nine carries,Authentic Robbie Gould Jersey, 13 yards) combining to average 1.3 yards per rush. In a 26-0 halftime hole, 7 yards) and Tarik Cohen (seven carries,Womens Marquise Goodwin Jersey, the Bears abandoned the run in the second half with only two rushing attempts on 31 plays.

Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains had a frustrating diagnosis for the struggles.

"I wish there was a better answer," he said. "But the fact is it was one guy on each play. It wasn't (just) one guy playing poorly (the entire time)."

Loggains knows what he's up against. The Bears' passing attack hasn't been able to stretch defenses,Authentic Brandon Fusco Jersey, leading to more eight- and sometimes nine-man boxes. That's not going away. Now the Bears have to respond.

"We're a run-first team and we try to stay committed to the run,Womens Earl Mitchell Jersey," Loggains said. "Obviously with that you have to have success and you have to have success on first down. You have to keep yourself in second-and-manageable."

Getting the running attack jump-started Sunday may not be easy. The Steelers currently are allowing 3.3 yards per rush, 11th best in the league.

Player in the spotlight

for example,Authentic Zane Beadles Jersey,Since the start of the 2013 season, Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has averaged eight catches for 101 yards per game. He also has 43 touchdowns in that span. Brown is a matchup nightmare, slippery from the slot and dangerous on the outside. He also has a well-deserved reputation for being extraordinarily adroit along the sideline. Last week, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger heaved a pass toward the boundary to avoid a sack. Brown snared it as he cruised into the Vikings bench.

Officials ruled Brown out of bounds. His quarterback knew better.

"I was about 99.9 percent sure he was in," Roethlisberger said.

Replay review overturned the incompletion — 12-yard gain. "AB has some of the best sideline feet you ever will see in your life," Roethlisberger said.

Brown is surgical as a route runner, polished with his technique and blessed with high-level football savvy.Authentic Earl Mitchell Jersey, Coach Mike Tomlin has enjoyed the receiver's impressive rise.

"What (outsiders) don't see on a day-to-day basis is just as important as what you see in stadiums," Tomlin said. "When your best players are you hardest workers, it's a recipe for a good environment. And he adds positively to that every day."

Injuries and fines

Right guard Josh Sitton (ribs) is doubtful for Sunday and did not participate in any of the Bears' three practices this week. Fellow guard Tom Compton is also questionable (hip). So even with Kyle Long's return imminent — Long is no longer listed on the injury report — the Bears still ate playing mix-and-match up front. If Long starts at left guard, Womens Zane Beadles Jersey,the Bears will have to assess Compton's availability to play. If he can't go, it's possible Cody Whitehair would slide out to guard again with Hroniss Grasu filling in at center.

The Bears also revealed good news for Nick Kwiatkoski on Friday with Fox indicating that the second-year linebacker's pectoral injury isn't as severe as Jerrell Freeman's season-ender in Week 1. For now, surgery isn't in the plans for Kwiatkoski and there's hope he may be able to play again this season. In the meantime, Fox said,Womens T. J. Watt Jersey, expect Christian Jones to start alongside Danny Trevathan against the Steelers with John Timu likely to be promoted from the practice squad to add depth.

In the fine department,115 punishment for his unnecessary roughness hit after a Buccaneers kickoff last week. Former Bears safety Chris Conte was docked $24,Womens Robbie Gould Jersey, Bears receiver Tanner Gentry was hit with a $9,309 for his unnecessary roughness hit on receiver Josh Bellamy in the fourth quarter.

Keep an eye on …

The Steelers' offense is a different unit on the road than it is at home. Since the start of last season,Authentic Marquise Goodwin Jersey, the Steelers have averaged 390.1 yards and 28.0 points per game in nine contests at Heinz Field versus 341.8 yards and 21.6 points in nine games on the road.

If the Bears can chew clock and shorten the game, they may find themselves again with a chance to pull the upset in the fourth quarter.
