Five reasons to feel joy when the Steelers dominate the Titans on Sunday
BY SEAN CONBOY
Steeler Nation: Do not let last week’s win against Atlanta make you go soft. There are ruffians afoot, and they must be hated-on with unbridled passion.
This Sunday, the Steelers travel to good-old Nashville Ya’ll to take on the Tennessee Titans.

"Y'aw Titans!"
Good lord, have you ever actually been to Tennessee? It has the charm of the Gaza Strip, if only the Gaza Strip were lined with nothing but Waffle Houses and banjo bars and populated by extras from Brokeback Mountain.

REASON TO HATE # 1: Chris Johnson Blah Blah Blah
Titans running back Chris Johnson is exceptional. He has rushed for more than 100 yards in 12 consecutive games (he is two away from Barry Sanders’ NFL record of 14). Plus, he has really intimidating Predator dreadlocks. He is so suspiciously good that, according to his Twitter (http://twitter.com/ChrisJohnson28/status/24411752325), the NFL made him take three drug tests already this season.
That’s cool and all, but you know what’s even more impressive than Mr. Johnson’s streak?
The Steelers defense, which has given up 100+ yards to only one rusher (Baltimore’s Ray Rice) since 2007. In Johnson’s two career games versus the Steelers, he rushed for 69 yards in 2008 and 57 yards in 2009.
O.K., sports media, we get it. Johnson is good. Last week he ran for 140 yards against the vaunted defense of the Jokeland Raiders, coached by this freaking guy (http://d0inw0rk.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/tom-cable-raiders.jpg). Big woop. When was the last time he had to face a defense anchored by a clinically insane man-beast like James Harrison?
