It is the highest profile game the Arizona Cardinals have had on their schedule so far this season. The 4-1 Cardinals head to Pittsburgh to play the 3-2 Steelers. However, while the matchup is high profile, the Steelers will be going once more without their starting quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.
Arizona has been rolling and is the highest scoring team in the NFL and has been running the ball very effectively, leading the league as well with five yards per carry. Their trio of running backs (Chris Johnson, Andre Ellington and David Johnson) are all healthy and ready to go.
The story of the week is the return of Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians to Pittsburgh, where he was fired by Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. That, of course, led to Arians becoming head coach in Arizona, but the thought of revenge makes this game a big one. Arians and Tomlin both have downplayed it, but several players feel differently.
