Woodley(calf) and Keisel(foot) and Ramon Foster(ankle) all missed practices on Wed and Thursday. Plus Pouncey has been out since Week 1. That helps for sure.

Steelers have vowed not to be bullied by the Lions. It's kinda nice to have other teams not think of us as punching bags anymore.

Hopefully we get Bentley and Ana ah back this week. Heard CJ already made it official that he IS playing Sunday.

Added the Sidelion preview by the numbers

Still waiting on PFF

It will be nice to see the 58 year drought in Pittsburgh end in person...elrod will represent for the board!

Geez, Lions last win in pittsburgh was 1955??!!
I was in the 3rd grade.
Lions have broken some away losing streaks, vs. redskins/bears/vikings right??
Time to break this one Sunday.

Hope you get to light up a LionsVictoryCigar elrod.

According to espn, Johnson and Ansah both returned to practice today

Seems like two extremes looking at the head-to-head history for these teams.

From 1934-1962 the Lions were 12-4-1 against the Steelers
From 1966 and on the Lions are 2-11 against them


From the looks of it, the Steelers were really bad to mediocre at best between 1933 and 1971

 

[kdp80]

Is Ogletree set to make an impact? Would be nice to see yet another unexpected playmaker step up.

[LKP]

Lamar Woodley doubtul, Keisel questionable, Ramon Foster questionable.


Calvin probable, Ansah/Hilliard questionable, Bently/Burleson doubtful, Owens out

 

[michiganalex]

Yeah guess whose 50th anniversary of owning the Lions franchise is coming up on 11/22/13, which is much more infamous for being the very same day that JFK was assassinated.

 

[LKP]

Pouncey has been out since Week 1. Their entire Oline was on the injury report but everyone else is probable other than Foster who is questionable.

 

[cheeno]

Ansah not expected to play per Roto.

 

[mhughes0021]

Ansah not expected to play per Roto.

get him 100% we need production from him down the stretch.
