In addition to the New York Jets, free-agent linebacker Adalius Thomas also worked out for the Miami Dolphins this week, according to a league source.

The Cincinnati Bengals will bring in center Justin Hartwig, wide receiver/return specialist Dexter Jackson for visits this week, league sources said Monday.

Ben Roethlisberger was hit too often, and Willie Parker didn't have running room. Yes, the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers won their opener, but their offensive line still needs fixing.

Since winning Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers have had to deal with two incidents involving James Harrison, an injury to Big Ben and the loss of defensive stalwart Larry Foote. How are they coping?

No. 1 in rush defense. No. 1 in pass defense. No. 1 in overall defense. No. 1 in scoring defense. Get the picture? So are Pittsburgh's opponents.

The Steelers' Super Bowl title three years ago came without a great game from Ben Roethlisberger. This time, however, they couldn't have won the Lombardi Trophy without the QB's clutch play.

Willie Parker and Jerome Bettis helped the Steelers run to victory in Super Bowl XL. However, Parker now faces the task of carrying Pittsburgh's run game in his return trip to the big game.

A Steelers offensive line that was much maligned for much of the season is playing with renewed confidence, which will be put to the test by the Ravens' tough defense in the AFC Championship Game.

The Steelers faded at the end of the season, losing four of their last five including being pushed out of the playoffs on their home field. Now they face arguably the league's toughest schedule and an improving division opponent in Cleveland.
