Game plan and matchup

The USA Today Team Report ends with this analysis of the Monday night game.

GAME PLAN: The Steelers may pass more often than they normally do because of the Jaguars' stout defensive tackles. When they do run, Willie Parker's apt to bounce it outside. Cowher said he does not want Parker to get 30 carries a game — he had 29 in the opener — so they may use Najeh Davenport some against the Jaguars. On defense, they will try to get to Byron Leftwich so he cannot set up and throw deep to his receivers. Fred Young has had some good games running against them.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Steelers All-Pro G Alan Faneca and Pro Bowl C Jeff Hartings vs. Jaguars' stout DTs John Henderson and Marcus Stroud. The best vs. the best. Steelers love to run behind Faneca and Hartings. Henderson and Stroud are good at stopping the run. There's nothing fancy here, power vs. power.

—Jaguars WR Matt Jones and Reggie Williams vs. Steelers CBs Ike Taylor and Deshea Townsend. Jones stands 6-6 and Williams goes 6-4. Taylor is 6-1 and Townsend 5-10.
