Steelers' Defens... Pittsburgh has allowed 30 or more points in two of its three games. Both were on the road though, and all were without star outside linebacker James Harrison. Harrison is back (as is All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu) against the Eagles. So is the Steelers' defense, which will allow less than 20 points. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)

Julio Jones Bust... The Falcons' wideout has 111 yards receiving in the past three games combined. He easily tops that on Sunday against the Redskins' 31st-ranked pass defense. (AP Photo/Denis Poroy)

Alex Smith Throw... It's been almost two years since Smith's last 300-yard passing game. This is the week for the 49ers quarterback against Buffalo's much-maligned secondary. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

Andrew Luck Thro... Indy's not going to win but Andrew Luck is going to put up some pretty good numbers against a poor Packers secondary. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)

'Gangnam Style' ... Domata Peko brought it to an NFL field. Something tells me his teammates are going to adopt the move. (AP Photo/Tony Tribble)

Sunday Marks Rus... The Seahawks lose again, this time in Carolina. Pete Carroll will have no choice but to sit Wilson in favor of Matt Flynn. Seattle's defense is too good to be supported by a rookie quarterback. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)

Jaguars Pull Off... Tough spot for the Bears. Coming off a short week they travel to Jacksonville for what would appear to be an easy win. Not so. Trap game. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)

Chiefs Play Well The Jags and Chiefs play well in the same week? Yep, it's going to happen. Kansas City gives the Ravens all they can handle at Arrowhead. If not, Matt Cassel loses his job. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
