Breakin It Down: San Diego Chargers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Breakin it down is 5 key stories plus a pick for each postseason game this season.

How's the Cheeseburger's Noggin?
The Cheeseburger was last seen being stretchered out of the field with his thumb raised high. So how will he take to getting smashed around some more? Will he uncharacteristically get rid of the ball quickly to avoid getting hit? Will he not try to run with the ball? Or will he just get beatin up like he normally does.

How Will Tiny Tot Like Getting Hit?
Darren Sproles had a phenomenal day last week but here's a question I have for the 5 foot nothing Sproles. How will you take a big hit? The Colts defense has always been known as undersized and soft defense. Meanwhile, the Steelers are a physical smash mouth time defense. How will Sproles hold up the after the first few massive hits he takes?

Any Chance the Groin Gets Reattached?
While it's doubtful LT plays in this game, what if he does try to go and isn't 100%. Does he help or hurt the Chargers? Will LT actually be able to contribute or will he just be stealing semi productive touches from Sproles and or Bennett like maybe goalline carries? If he can't help he should sit on the sidelines in sweat pants.

How Crappy is the Field?
Ketchup Field typically has about 197 games played on it in one season and yet they still use the grass. So how will it hold up tomorrow? Do the Steelers even want it to hold up, or would they rather let the slop slow down the speed of Sproles?

When Does Norv Bust It Out?
Come on Norv, stop winning playoff games after you underachieve horribly in the regular season. We all know you're a bad coach can you just do something in the post season that resembles regular season Norv. I don't know exactly what, but something.

The Pick
This is a stellar matchup and hopefully will be as entertaining as the repeat. Again I'm going against the Chargers because of their injury concerns and because I don't think the Steelers will let Sproles go wild. Will I be wrong? Quite Possibly.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
