Not Backing Down: CB Ike Taylor is consistently matched upwith the other team’s top receiving threat, routinely minimizingtheir impact. Before missing the last four weeks of the 2012season due to injury, Taylor had played in 135 consecutive games.

Taylor returned to the field for the season opener versusTennessee and helped limit the Titans to 117 net passing yards.

It was a continuation of what Taylor and the secondary did lastseason:

• (at NYG) Taylor earned AFC Defensive Player of the Weekhonors for the second time in his career (Wk. 5 vs. Seattle,10/7/07) by intercepting QB Eli Manning once andregistering five tackles. Taylor led a secondary that heldManning to a passer rating of 41.1, the sixth lowest ratingof his career and the lowest since 11/25/07 againstMinnesota (33.8).• (vs. Was) Taylor helped the Steelers limit Redskins QBRobert Griffin III to season lows in quarterback rating (72.8),yards per attempt (5.2) and completion percentage (47.1)as well as his second fewest passing yards (177).• (at Cin) Taylor was primarily matched up with WR A.J.Green, who entered the game averaging 104.7 receivingyards and 7.2 receptions per game. Against Taylor andthe Steelers secondary Green hauled in one pass for aneight-yard touchdown.

Since Taylor became a regular starter (2005-present), theSteelers have led the league in pass defense, allowing only 190.7net passing yards per game. Since 2005 Taylor has started 104of the 125 regular season games he has played in. In those 125games the defense only allowed seven players to record double-digit receptions in a single game. Also, in those 125 games,Pittsburgh’s defense allowed only nine 300-yard passers,including only one in 2011 and none in the 12 games he played inin 2012 or the one so far in 2013.

Allen Steps In: CB Cortez Allen is a third-year player thatcontinues to establish himself in the defensive backfield. Datingback to last season, Allen has started four of the last five gamesthe Steelers have played.

In his first start in a season opener, Allen registered three solotackles and helped limit Tennessee QB Jake Locker to 125passing yards and a rating of 74.0.

Allen played his best in the final two weeks of the 2012 season,playing a role in five turnovers. In Week 16 vs. Cincinnati. WithTaylor out, Allen primarily was matched up on WR A.J. Green. Heregistered two interceptions off of QB Andy Dalton and forcedGreen to fumble. Dating back to 2000, it was the 12th time aSteelers’ player recorded two interceptions in one game. Allenwas the first player to record two interceptions in a game since STroy Polamalu on 12/12/10 vs. Cincinnati.

The following week vs. Cleveland Allen recorded a career-higheight tackles and forced two fumbles, one that was recovered byLB Lawrence Timmons at the Browns’ 24-yard line and the otherAllen recovered himself and returned 21 yards to the Cleveland

27-yard line. Both turnovers resulted in Steelers’ touchdowns onthe ensuing drives.

Gotta Be Da Beard: DE Brett Keisel started the 2013 seasonjust as he ended the 2012 season, by getting pressure on thequarterback. In Week 1 Keisel tied for the team lead with twoquarterback pressures. In 2012, he led the team with a career-high 40 quarterback pressures, 21 more than LB LawrenceTimmons who finished second on the team with 19. It was themost quarterback pressures by a Pittsburgh defender since LBJames Harrison recorded 44 in 2008. Since the start of the 2011season Keisel has totaled 77 quarterback pressures to lead theSteelers.

Keisel also led the defensive line with 58 tackles in 2012, tying(2006) for the second most he has registered in a single seaonin his career (63 in 2009). Keisel started off the 2013 season bytying for the lead among defensive linemen in Week 1, with sixtackles against Tennessee.
