1) With the current status of Willis McGahee and how seriously he has been effected by the gouging of his eyes in last weeks game against Cleveland, it's not completely sure what type of role McGahee will play. He has been hampered with vision problems throughout the week of practice and if they continue will limit his touches and productivity in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. This should increase Rice's touches throughout the game and increase his yardage.
2) Le'ron McClain, the starting FB for the Ravens, has not participated in practice all week. He is the leading rusher for Baltimore and has the most TD's with two. With his status and production also unknown, the goal line offense where he is a feature back will need to call on somebody else. With the goal line back out, Rice will become the feature goal line back.
3) The Ravens play against the Steelers, who although look good, are not that solid on defense. They rank in the lower half statistically in every defensive category including rushing. Poor defense=more yards.
