Last week in New England, the Steelers racked up 483 yards of offense, but scored only 21 points, failing to capitalize on the majority of their red-zone opportunities.


Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley implemented a jumbo package near the goal line against the Patriots (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-england-patriots), in which 6-foot 9-inch, 320-pound tackle Alejandro Villanueva (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245347/alejandro-villanueva) reports as eligible and H-back Will Johnson is lined up in the backfield behind fullback Roosevelt Nix.
