Pittsburgh ? When it comes to a virtual guaranteed victory in the NFL, nothing beats the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on a Monday night.

The Steelers are 10-0 in Monday home games under coach Bill Cowher, and haven’t lost a Monday night home game since Chuck Noll was the coach in 1991. The losing quarterbacks in those games, almost none of which were close, include Jim Kelly, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning – not exactly a positive sign for Baltimore’s Anthony Wright as he tries to turn around a Ravens season that is fast slipping away.

With Pittsburgh’s defense now back on its game, Wright and the offensively deficient Ravens (2-4) would seem to be catching the Steelers (4-2) at exactly the wrong time, even in an AFC North rivalry where records and resumes don’t always mean much.

The Steelers sacked, harassed and upended Texans quarterback David Carr so many times during a 27-7 rout last month that Carr began yelling at his linemen. Similarly, the Steelers so disrupted Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer on Oct. 23 that the league’s top-rated passer couldn’t lead a touchdown drive until the final two minutes of a 27-13 loss.

That day, Wright didn’t direct a single touchdown drive in a 10-6 loss to Chicago that left the Ravens another loss or two away from all but falling out of the division race. The Ravens haven’t scored a touchdown in seven quarters, a worrisome slump for a team that goes into Pittsburgh with a six-game road losing streak and without its two best defensive players, injured middle linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, as well as fullback Alan Ricard.

“I don’t know, for whatever reason the chemistry’s not there,” with the Ravens, Steelers receiver Hines Ward said. “And they’ve got a bunch of great guys out there.”
