Saints, Steelers hit the road for crucial division games

Published: Nov 09, 2011 at 11:25 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints each pay a visit to one of their key division rivals this week, and a road loss in either case could prove fatal to their hopes of winning their respective divisions. Meanwhile, the Giants look to follow up their dramatic rally in New England last Sunday by flying out west and becoming only the second team to beat the San Francisco 49ers this year, and the surging Houston Texans take their show on the road to Tampa Bay.

The Steelers, Saints, Giants and Texans are four teams in good position to get difficult road victories this week based on matchups, injuries, history and other circumstances.
