Lions have allowed 23, tied for fourth most. … Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell has at least 180 yards from scrimmage in three of last four games and is trying for third in a row with at least 190. Bell is second in league in yards rushing and third in yards from scrimmage. … Pittsburgh WR Antonio Brown leads NFL with 52 catches and 765 yards receiving. … Steelers LB T.J. Watt tied for lead among rookies with four sacks. … Detroit’s Theo Riddick has 156 receptions since 2015, most by RB. … Lions WR Golden Tate has at least five receptions in each of past six home games, but has been dealing with shoulder problems this week. … Detroit DT A’Shawn Robinson had interception for TD in most recent game, plus career-high seven tackles. … Lions rookie Jamal Agnew has two touchdowns on punt returns. … Fantasy Tip: Both teams have issues at WR. Tate and Kenny Golladay have been limited in practice by injuries, meaning Marvin Jones could be top target for Detroit. Pittsburgh’s Martavis Bryant indicated he’ll be inactive after social media outburst. That could mean more opportunities for Eli Rogers and Justin Hunter.
