Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell vs. Falcons LB Paul Worrilow: Bell is having a dynamic season. He has gained 1,231 yards rushing and is a good pass-catcher out of the backfield. He has 71 catches for 693 yards. Worrilow has been solid in the middle of the field. He was a little off against the Packers on Monday, when he missed a few tackles. He also has struggled at times in pass coverage. Some believe that Bell is an MVP candidate.
Steelers WR Antonio Brown vs. Falcons CB Desmond Trufant: Brown has 105 catches for 1,375 yards and 11 touchdowns. He went over the 1,000-yard mark for the third time since he was picked in the sixth round of the 2010 draft out of Central Michigan. Trufant likely will be matched against Brown when the Falcons play man-to-man coverage. He has 51 tackles and leads the team with 14 pass breakups.
Steelers S Troy Polamalu vs. Falcons WR Roddy White: Polamalu, an eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro legend, has lost a step at 33. He is not coming off one of his strongest performances. He was in coverage on Cincinnati's 56-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green. With wide receiver Julio Jones not expected to play, White will elevate to his former No. 1 receiver spot for this game. He's battling an ankle injury and may not be able to deliver.
