Matchup: Steelers (4-3) at Giants (6-2) 4:25 p.m. Eastern, CBS Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks vs. defensive backs The Giants' greatest strength is their passing game, and the Steelers have the top-ranked pass defense in the league - though their 182.6 passing yards allowed a game is a bit misleading. Pittsburgh's secondary is injury-plagued (including Troy Polamalu, who will miss his seventh game) and it has recorded only three interceptions, making it likely that the Giants will look to Cruz and Nicks, their top receivers, even more often than usual. That is the number of take-aways the Giants have recorded this season, the most in the N.F.L. Coach Tom Coughlin harps on the importance of turnovers, and so far, the Giants have been consistent in forcing them - led recently by safety Stevie Brown's three interceptions in the last two games.
