Running Wild in Pittsburgh

The emergence of RB Willie Parker has allowed Pittsburgh the luxury of not rushing injured running backs Duce Staley and Jerome Bettis back to the football field.

Parker had a rushing TD and 161 yards on the ground against the Titans, and will get the bulk of carries this week against the Texans. Don't expect 200 combined yards this week against a defense that will not take Parker lightly.
