If Ellis can get to Big Ben regularly he can disrupt the offensive flow for the Steelers. With five tackles against the Patriots he is coming off arguably his best game of the season. If he can't reproduce the effort then the Steelers may be able to control the clock and ultimately the game.
I expect him to be good, not great this week. He is facing opponents that are not on par with him, but at 33 it's difficult to turn in performances that good in back to back weeks, especially this late in the season.
Ellis has this to say about facing Ben this week. "He's very dangerous, one of the best in the game," New York defensive end Shaun Ellis said. "It's huge that our cover guys stay back, stay on their guys, and for us to rush him. And, once you get there, you've got to attack him. You've got to go for the ball. He's not scared to take a hit. You see him have three, four guys on him and still get the ball downfield."
