Although the Steelers are the team in this matchup that is most well-known for their defensive prowess, the Packers have a linebacker who is quickly turning Green Bay into an excellent defensive team.
#2 Clay Matthews
In his two seasons since being drafted by the Packers out of USC, Matthews has developed a reputation for being fearless player who frequently wreaks havoc on opposing quarterbacks. In fact, Matthews has registered 24 sacks in two seasons in the NFL. This season, Matthews has transformed himself from a very good linebacker to one of the very best in the league. His skill level along with his fearless nature will cause trouble for offensive linemen attempting to block Matthews. The constant pressure that Matthews will apply will cause Ben Roethlisberger to commit mistakes. Expect Matthews' performance of defense to play a large role in whether the Packers are victorious on Sunday.
Prediction: 8 tackles, 2 sacks for Matthews
