The Cardinals can't just rely on Kurt Warner and the passing attack. Establishing a ground game is key since Arizona is 6-1 when rushing for more than 100 yards and 10-1 when rushing for more than 60 yards.
On the other side of the ball, the game could be decided by how well the Cards pressure Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers are 0-3 when Big Ben throws more than one interception, and 13-1 when he throws one or less.
For the 7-point favored Steelers, they must double-team Larry Fitzgerald and keep him under 100 yards. On offense the Steelers must run Willie Parker into the ground right off the bat so it will ease the pressure on Big Ben.
