In the finale, they tried to stop Smith and Rice beat them. Last year, they couldn't stop either one. Last year's finale, the Ravens barely played their starters.

Pittsburgh is going to have to get Ben on the same page with his OC. Their offensive line will have to stay healthy. It's not that they can't, it's just that they've been trending downward.
Going to be an interesting year for Cinci and Dalton. They will need to make a decision on him to pay him big bucks or move on. If BR gets hurt again and misses games, Pitt may bring in the rookie and that almost always causes controversy.
