Bounce-back win enthuses...

The Steelers find themselves in an early tie with the Ravens, as Pittsburgh travels to Indianapolis to play the Colts this Sunday night. Now, coach Mike Tomlin is trying to keep the memory of their 35-7 shellacking in Baltimore alive, to drive them even harder. He keeps mentioning the loss to his players, even right after their resounding 24-0 shutout victory at home this past Sunday to the Seahawks. The Steelers find another soft landing pad as they continue to rebound off their season opener loss to Baltimore. The two players to watch this week are wide receiver Mike Wallace and rookie right tackle Marcus Gilbert. Marcus Gilbert will have his hands full with Colts DE Robert Mathis rushing QB Ben Roethlisberger all night long. The pressure amps up this week in a noisy dome against Mathis, a nine year veteran with an array of pass-rush moves and who is an expert at getting under the pads of an offensive line. Another player to watch is the exciting speed star Mike Wallace who has five consecutive regular season games with more than 100 yards. He caught eight passes for 126 yards against Seattle and scored a touchdown. He looks to have another huge game against a depleted secondary in the Colts. Prediction: 34-13 STEELERS....
