If the Texans are going to make the leap to the playoffs this year, the playoff drive will have to start in Week Two, and if the Steelers could play like this every week (they can't) they'd easily win the AFC North. Here's the stars and goats as I see it from the Steelers' 38-17 win.Stars Of The Game:
1. Steelers outside linebackers James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley.
If there's any reason the Steelers will be significantly better this year, it's because Woodley is a better pass rusher and athlete than Clark Haggans, the veteran he replaces in the starting lineup. The opener gave a pretty good sign of what he can do. Woodley had a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and two quarterback hurries to go with three tackles. Harrison gave rookie left tackle Duane Brown a rude introduction with three sacks, a forced fumble and eight tackles. The Steelers won't get four sacks from their outside linebackers every week, but Sunday was a good sign that they will get plenty of pressure, even when they rush only four.
