PLAYERS TO WATCH
DION LEWIS, PATRIOTS RB
Lewis (right) had a historic day last week against the Texans, becoming the first player in NFL history to score touchdowns via a catch, rush and kickoff return in a postseason game. Lewis had a big role in the game, which was a surprise. Will Bill Belichick use Lewis again this week?
JAMES HARRISON, STEELERS LB
The 38-year-old is defying Father Time. He had a monster performance last week against the Chiefs. Harrison was all over the field and gave Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher fits. He drew the hold on the two-point conversion attempt at the end of the game that sealed the win for Pittsburgh. Now, he needs to get to Tom Brady.
DONT’A HIGHTOWER, PATRIOTS LB
No one has been able to stop Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell recently. The Patriots will count on Hightower to play a disciplined style and lead the Patriots’ attack against Bell, who waits for holes to open like no other running back.
