Part Of The Challenge: Pittsburgh has been dealt a seriousnumber of injuries this year. The Steelers’ 2012 first-round pick, GDavid DeCastro, spent the first 11 games of the season onReserve/Injured; Designated to Return List before beingreactivated. The Steelers third-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft,LB Sean Spence, and TE/FB David Johnson, who started all 16games for the Steelers in 2011, suffered injuries during thepreseason that have sidelined them all year. As the season hasprogressed starting T Marcus Gilbert and reserve LB Chris Carterhave been placed on injured reserve.

As the Steelers get players back from injury others go down.Just as Pittsburgh saw the return of S Troy Polamalu for the winover the Ravens (Week 13), they are still without CB Ike Taylor,who has missed most of the last three games. G Willie Colon hasmissed most of the last four games.

This season Pittsburgh has had to count on backups atquarterback, running back, wide receiver, tackle, guard, center,outside linebacker, cornerback and both safety positions. In Week15 at Dallas, the Steelers started two rookies on the right side ofthe offensive line, OT Kelvin Beachum and G David DeCastro,who was only playing in his second game since coming backfrom a knee injury. Pittsburgh also was missing its number oneand three cornerbacks (Taylor and Cortez Allen), which created astarting opportunity for first-year CB Josh Victorian who wasplaying in his second career game after being promoted from thepractice squad.

The Steelers have even moved guys to different positions tocover for injured players, Maurkice Pouncey had started his entirecareer at center until Week 13 at Baltimore when he moved toguard due to Colon’s injury.

Below is a list of Steelers’ players and how many games theyhave missed:

Career TDs ofQuarterback/Wide Receiver 40-plus yds.Ben Roethlisberger/Mike Wallace 14Bubby Brister/Louis Lipps 7Terry Bradshaw/John Stallworth 6Jim Finks/Ray Mathews 6

Best of the Batch: QB Charlie Batch has a 25-30 record as astarting quarterback, including a 6-3 record in his nine seasonswith Pittsburgh. In his eight career starts with the Steelers, Batchis 137-of-221 (62.0 pct.) for 1,652 yards with nine touchdownsand 11 interceptions (75.4 passer rating).

With the Week 13 victory at Baltimore, Batch is 3-2 as the Steelersstarter since 2010. Batch threw for 276 yards against the Ravens,the most passing yards he threw since 11/18/01 at Arizona (436)when he was a member of the Detroit Lions. Batch has thrown forover 200 yards in two of his last three starts (208 vs. StL in 2011).

He started two games in 2010 for the Steelers (Weeks 3-4) andwent 1-1 in those two starts. In 2011, Batch filled in for an injured

Ben Roethlisberger in Week 15 vs. St. Louis and led the Steelersto a 27-0 win while throwing for 208 yards on 15-of-22 passing(68.1).

Dwyer Delivers: Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer seized theopportunity given to him a few weeks ago after injuries sidelinedrunning backs Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman. Dwyerperformed so well during their absence that even with all three inthe line up in Week 10 versus Baltimore, he led the team with 55yards on 12 carries (4.6 avg.) and earned the starting job over thelast few games. Dwyer has recorded two touchdowns in the lastthree weeks.

Dwyer, who is in his third year but has only played in 19 games,became the first Steelers running back since Willie Parker (9/7 -9/14 in 2008) to register at least 100 yards rushing in back-to-back games. He helped the Steelers earn their first consecutivevictories this season with 107 yards (6.3) in Week 8 versusWashington and a career high 122 yards (7.2 avg.) in Week 7 atCincinnati. In Week 10 Dwyer helped the Steelers grind out avictory over the Chiefs with a team-high 56 yards on 19 carries.

Prior to this season, Dwyer had registered one 100-yard rushingperformance in his professional career (107 yards vs. Tennessee,10/9/11). Dwyer’s 9.7 yards per carry average against Tennesseein 2011 tied Parker (22 car. for 213 yds., vs. NO, 11/12/06) for thefifth highest average by a Steelers’ player who reached at least100 yards with a minimum of 10 attempts (dating back to 1970):

Dating back to 1970, Dwyer joins Franco Harris (9), Willie Parker(6), Frenchy Fuqua (3) and Rashard Mendenhall (2) as the onlySteelers’ to average at least 7.0 yards per carry multiple timeswhen registering 100+ yards (min. 10 attempts).

Run Redman Run: RB Isaac Redman has made it a habit in hisyoung career of showing up when called upon and this season isno different.

With RBs Rashard Mendenhall and Jonathan Dwyer sidelineddue to injury, Redman returned from an injury that sidelined himfor the previous two games and rushed for a career high 147yards on 26 carries (5.7 avg.) with one touchdown, helping to leadthe Steelers to a victory over the Giants in his home state of NewJersey. It was the most rushing yards recorded by a Steelers’player since Mendenhall totaled 151 yards on 36 carries (4.2avg.) on 11/28/10 at Buffalo. In a Week 13 win at Baltimore Redmanaveraged a team-high 4.8 yards per carry (nine attempts for 43yards) with a team long 24-yard run. Redman registered a 22-yard run in Week 15 at Dallas.

Redman has also shown the ability to make an impact in thepassing game. In Week 6 at Tennessee, Redman became thefirst Steelers’ running back since Frenchy Fuqua (11/29/70 vs.Cleveland) to record 100+ receiving yards in a game. Redmantotaled 105 yards on four receptions. He leads all Steelers’ runningbacks with 201 yards on 16 receptions this season (12.6 avg.).

Timmons Time: On a defense that has struggled to stay healthyover the last couple of seasons, LB Lawrence Timmons hasbeen a player the Steelers can count on being in the lineup eachweek.

Timmons, who has missed only two games his entire career,has recorded a team-best 35 consecutive starts. Since the startof the 2010 season, Timmons has started (45) and played in (46)the most games out of any Steelers’ linebackers, while alsoleading the group in tackles over that time.

While Timmons is a steady player that the defense can counton game-in and game-out, he also makes plays. So far thisseason, Timmons:

• Leads the team with 116 tackles on the season. It isTimmons second 100+ tackle season of his career (149in 2010).• Holds the team lead with three interceptions this season.• Led or tied for the team lead in tackles in eight games,including four of the last five.• Registered at least 10 tackles in four games (10 at Cin,10 vs. Bal, 13 at Cle and 17 vs. SD).• Recorded a career-high 17 tackles (14 solo) against SanDiego in Week 14.

Tackling Machine: S Ryan Clark has teamed with perennialAll-Pro Troy Polamalu to form one of the finest safety duos in theNFL. Since coming to the Steelers in 2006, Clark has started 92of 93 regular-season games played, including all 16 in both 2010and 2011.

After missing the 2012 season opener in Denver due to a healthissue, Clark returned to the Steelers starting lineup and has beena key part of a secondary that was with out Troy Polamalu for 10games this season.

• Clark has recorded at least seven tackles in eight gamesthis season.• He has led or tied for the team lead in tackles insevengames this season, including a 13 tackle (10 solo)performance at Cleveland in Week 12 and an 11 tackle (9solo) showing in Week 15 at Dallas.• With two forced fumbles this season, Clark has alreadytied his career high set in 2005.• In Week 3 at Oakland, he registered an interception off ofQB Carson Palmer and returned it for a career long 26yards to the Oakland 36-yard line, helping set up a Steelers’touchdown.

to a passer rating of 41.1, the sixth lowest rating of his career andthe lowest since 11/25/07 against Minnesota (33.8).

In Week 8, Taylor helped the Steelers limit Redskins QB RobertGriffin III to season lows in quarterback rating (72.8), yards perattempt (5.2) and completion percentage (47.1) as well as hissecond fewest passing yards (177).

In a Week 6 victory at Cincinnati, Taylor was primarily matchedup with WR A.J. Green, who entered the game averaging 104.7receiving yards and 7.2 receptions per game. Against Taylor andthe Steelers secondary Green hauled in one pass for an eight-yard touchdown. In Week 2 against the New York Jets, Taylor tookon the challenge of covering receiver Santonio Holmes and heldhis former teammate to three receptions for 28 yards while beingtargeted 11 times.

Since Taylor became a regular starter (2005-present), theSteelers have led the league in pass defense, allowing only 191.5net passing yards per game. Since 2005 Taylor has started 103of the 124 regular season games he has played in. In those 124games the defense only allowed seven players to record double-digit receptions in a single game. Also, in those 124 games,Pittsburgh’s defense has allowed only nine 300-yard passers,including only one in 2011 and none in the 11 games he played inthis season.

Taking The Lead: With the loss of long-time starting insidelinebacker James Farrior, veteran LB Larry Foote has been askedto step up from his recent supporting roll and back into thedefensive leader. Through 14 games, Foote is second on theteam in tackles (97) and leads the team in forced fumbles (2,tied) and fumble recoveries (2). He is also tied for secondamongst Steelers in sacks (4.0, tied). Foote’s four sacks on theseason tie his career high set in 2006.

In Week 1 at Denver, Foote exceeded expections, registering ateam-high 12 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one QBpressure and one pass defensed. It was the 17th 10+ tacklegame of his career and first since 11/22/09 vs. Cleveland (12).

Twice this season (Weeks 1 and 6) Foote has recorded a sackand a forced fumble, marking the fourth and fifth times in hiscareer, and the first since 12/2/07 vs. Cincinnati, that he registereda forced fumble and a sack in the same game.

In Week 3 at Oakland, Foote tied for the team lead with threequarterback hurries, while also chipping in eight tackles. A Week5 win over Philadelphia saw Foote register a career-high twofumble recoveries. In a road win over the Giants in Week 9 Footetied for the team lead with seven tackles.

In a Week 13 victory at Baltimore, Foote registered a sack andQB pressure.

Climbing The Ranks: With four sacks this season LB JamesHarrison has 62.0 for his career, passing Joey Porter for thesecond most by a Steelers’ player since sacks became an officialstatistic in 1982.

Rk. Player Sacks1. Jason Gildon (1994-2003) 77.02. James Harrison (2002-Present) 62.03. Joey Porter (1999-2006) 60.04. Keith Willis (1982-91) 59.0

Harrison registered two forced fumbles this season. In Week13 at Baltimore when he sacked QB Joe Flacco early in the fourthquarter. The Steelers capitalized on the turnover with a touchdownto tie the game at 20. In Week 15, with Dallas on the Pittsburghseven-yard line, Harrison forced a fumble of RB DeMarco Murraythat was recovered by DE Brett Keisel at the eight-yard line.

Harrison’s 28 forced fumbles rank second in team history forcareer forced fumbles, behind only Greg Lloyd. The following is alist of the top five career forced fumble leaders for the Steelerssince 1987:

• In a Week 5 win over Philadelphia, Clark forced a MichaelVick fumble at the Steelers’ one-yard line that LB LarryFoote recovered in the end zone for a touchback.• He tied for the team lead with seven tackles in a victoryover the Giants in Week 9 and led the Steelers with 10tackles in a Week 10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Clark’s stellar on field play mirrors what he does off the field inthe community. Clark and his wife, Yonka, have turned theirpersonal experiences with Sickle Cell trait into a mission to helpothers. The Clark’s teamed up with the University of Pittsburghand UPMC to create Ryan Clark’s Cure League, which raisesmoney for Sickle Cell research, clinical care and increasesawareness about the disease. Clark is also active in many othercommunity efforts including being the local spokesman for DairyManagement’s Fuel Up to Play 60 program.

For his efforts Clark has been named the Steelers 2012 WalterPayton Man of the Year. He is one of 32 NFL teams’ Man of theYear winners who qualify for the league’s national 2012 WalterPayton Man of the Year award. The award recognizes a player’soff-the-field community service as well his playing excellence.The overall winner will be announced during Super Bowl XLVIIweek in Indianapolis.

Keenan’s Corner: CB Keenan Lewis was thrust into the startinglineup this season and has not disappointed. Lewis has startedeach game this season at left cornerback and has been one ofthe main reasons the Steelers lead the NFL in pass defense.

Through 14 games, he has already set career highs in starts(14) and tackles (70), and he leads the team with a career-high26 pass breakups.

In the second half of the season Lewis’ has put together a fewsteller performances.

• In Week 11 versus Baltimore he tied for the team leadwith 10 tackles (eight solo), helping a defense that limitedthe Ravens to 200 total net yards.• In Week 12 at Cleveland, Lewis registered 10 tacklesagain and one pass defensed, helping lead a secondarythat limited the Browns to 130 net passing yards.• Lewis was part of a secondary in Baltimore (Week 13)that stepped up when Ike Taylor got injured on the firstseries of game. Lewis and company held Ravens QB JoeFlacco to a passer rating of 61.9 and 188 passing yards.• Led the Steelers with three passes defensed at Dallas inWeek 15 and also recorded seven tackles.

Earlier in the season Lewis forced his first career fumble whenhe tackled and stripped Eagles’ WR DeSean Jackson in Week 5.

Last season Lewis mainly served as the team’s nickel-back,seeing action in all 16 games. He earned his first career start inWeek 3 at Indianapolis where he recorded a season-high fivetackles. In 2011, Lewis recorded 31 tackles, five pass breakupsand had the game-clinching interception in Week 12 at KansasCity.

Not Backing Down: CB Ike Taylor is consistently matched upwith the other team’s top receiving threat, routinely minimizingtheir impact. Before missing the last two weeks due to injury,Taylor had played in 135 consecutive games.

Taylor is part of a secondary that limited the Browns to 130 netpassing yards in Week 12. The week before, Taylor primarilycovered Ravens WR Torrey Smith and limited him to one receptionfor seven yards while being targeted seven times.

Against the Giants in Week 9, Taylor earned AFC DefensivePlayer of the Week honors for the second time in his career (Wk.5 vs. Seattle, 10/7/07) by intercepting QB Eli Manning once andregistering five tackles. Taylor led a secondary that held Manning

During the second half of the 2011 regular season, Harrisonregistered seven sacks: three sacks twice (Week 9 vs. Bal andWeek 13 vs. Cin) and one against St. Louis in Week 16. He becamethe third Steelers’ player to register at least three sacks multipletimes in one season since 1982 (Chad Brown, 1996, 2; MikeMerriweather, 1984, 3).

Harrison has five regular-season games with at least threesacks in his career, tying Joey Porter for the most 3+ sack gamesduring the regular season by a Steelers’ player since 1982.

The Steelers are 29-15 when he posts a sack.

Bringing The Wood: Although LB LaMarr Woodley has onlyplayed in just over nine games (left Philadelphia game in the firstquarter and game at Cleveland in second quarter), he has regis-tered four sacks, a fumble recovery, 12 quarterback pressures andan interception this season.

In 2011, Woodley registered nine sacks through the first eightgames. Woodley’s nine sacks were the second most he recordedin the first eight games of a season during his career (9.5, 2008).Woodley’s nine sacks also marked the fourth-highest total for aSteeler in the first half of a season since sacks became an officialstatistic in 1982:

Rk. Player (Year) Sacks in Games 1-81. James Harrison (2008) 10.0

Keith Willis (1983) 10.03. LaMarr Woodley (2008) 9.54. LaMarr Woodley (2011) 9.0

In 2011, Woodley became the first Steelers’ player to registerat least 1.5 sacks in four consecutive regular-season gamessince sacks became an official statistic in 1982. The last player inthe NFL with more than one sack in four straight games wasSimeon Rice in 2002 (five straight).

It’s Worilds’ World: Steelers LB Jason Worilds is limited inhis defensive opportunities due to the players he backs up, ProBowl linebackers James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley. WhenWorilds does get his opportunity to play on defense he takesadvantage.

Worilds has started 10-of-41 games played during the regularseason since he entered the league in 2010. After recording fivesacks in his first two seasons, Worilds has a team-high five sacksin 14 games this season.

Twice during his career, Week 12 at Cleveland this seasonand Week 14 versus the Browns in 2011, Worilds has regsiteredtwo sacks in one game. Worilds has recorded 26 tackles, eightQB pressures and one pass defensed to go with four specialteams tackles this season.
