Will the rosters expand? Which coach needs to win more: Harbaugh or Tomlin? Could a Ravens run without Lamar make him look expendable? The Steelers have been gashed by the Ravens running game in the two previous games. Will this time be different? Would the Steelers use TJ Watt as a situational role?
