Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/) RT KELVIN BEACHUMvs. CHARGERS OLB SHAUN PHILLIPS

MATCHUP: Kelvin Beachum was successful in his first career start last week replacing the injured Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams, but Shaun Phillips (No. 95 above) should provide more of a challenge for the rookie right tackle. The veteran Phillips is putting together one of his best seasons when it comes to stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback. If last week is any indication, Beachum won’t get much help against Phillips.
BEACHUM: He was a pleasant surprise a week ago against the Ravens even if he was credited with allowing a pair of sacks (one of which quarterback Charlie Batch held the ball for six seconds). Beachum wasn’t overwhelmed by Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata or Paul Kruger in the passing game and looked good run blocking. Beachum played in only 27 career snaps before last week.

PHILLIPS: He leads the Chargers with seven sacks, 16 quarterback hurries and nine quarterback hits........

Beachum did pretty well against the Ravens last week so I have faith in him.
