The Steelers come to Charlotte at 1-1 while the Panthers take an 2-0 record to the field. The Steelers are coming off a horrid 26-6 loss to division rivals Ravens. The Panthers are coming off a 24-7 win against the Lions.
The Steelers hold a offensive advantage ( yards per game, rushing, passing ) over the Panthers in every category coming into the game. But the offense has bogged down since the first half of Week 1.
The Steelers defense is being hurt by the run, they must contain the Panthers running attack and force turnovers, something they just haven't done well so far.
