News and Notes
Nov 27 Mendenhall may be in line to receive a heavier workload against the Ravens Sunday as NFL.com is reporting Ben Roethlisberger may opt to sit the game out.

Recommendation: Mendenhall has had under 20 carries in four of his seven starts, but the Steelers may opt to work in more touches for him if Dennis Dixon is at the helm. If Dixon gets the call, he would be making his first career start against the Baltimore defense -- not the easiest of matchups to say the least. Pittsburgh may try to alleviate some of the pressure the Baltimore defense can bring by attempting to run the ball a bit more or work in some more passes out of the backfield.
