麥克湯姆林表示，帕特里克奎因對陣烏鴉隊的複仇比賽將成為鋼人隊的“動力”

本賽季迄今為止最大的 NFL 比賽之一將於週日早上拉開序幕，屆時匹茲堡鋼人隊將迎戰巴爾的摩烏鴉隊。兩支球隊本賽季都取得了七場勝利，因此這場比賽的結果將對亞足聯北區和亞足聯外卡賽產生巨大影響。

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are set to face off in a crucial AFC North matchup on Sunday, and former Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen will be looking to get revenge on his old team.

匹茲堡鋼人隊和巴爾的摩烏鴉隊將於週日在亞足聯北部進行一場關鍵的比賽，前烏鴉隊線衛帕特里克·奎因將尋求向他的老東家報仇。

Queen, who signed with the Steelers in free agency after four seasons in Baltimore, has played well for Pittsburgh this year, recording 62 tackles in nine games. Ahead of his first game against the Ravens, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed a plan to get him fired up for the occasion.

奎因在巴爾的摩效力了四個賽季後以自由球員身份與鋼人隊簽約，今年她在匹茲堡隊表現出色，在 9 場比賽中完成了 62 次鏟球。在對陣烏鴉隊的第一場比賽之前，鋼人隊主教練邁克湯姆林透露了一個讓他在這場比賽中興奮起來的計劃。

"I'm going to send him out for the coin toss, if that gives you any indication," Tomlin said, via ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "Motivation is good. We're human, and everyone wants to feel wanted. And so I'd imagine it's not only a motivation this week, but it's probably been a motivation for him every week."

湯姆林透過 ESPN 的布魯克普賴爾 (Brooke Pryor) 說道：“如果這能給你任何跡象的話，我會派他去擲硬幣。” “動力是好的。我們是人類，每個人都希望感到被需要。所以我想這不僅是本週的動力，而且可能是他每週的動力。”

The Ravens opted not to re-sign Queen last offseason, despite his role as a key piece on the NFL's best defense in 2021. Baltimore's defense has taken a step back this season, and the lack of stability at the second linebacker spot has been part of the reason why.

儘管奎因是2021 年NFL 最佳防守的關鍵人物，但烏鴉隊在上個休賽期選擇不重新簽下奎因。一。

Meanwhile, the Steelers have turned into a legitimate playoff threat thanks in large part to Russell Wilson.

與此同時，鋼人隊已經成為季後賽的合法威脅，這在很大程度上要歸功於拉塞爾威爾遜。

Despite a strong start to the season in the win column, Mike Tomlin still made the controversial decision to bench Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson after the veteran quarterback returned from his calf injury.

儘管本賽季在勝利方面取得了強勁的開局，但在老將四分衛小腿傷勢恢復後，邁克湯姆林仍然做出了有爭議的決定，將賈斯汀菲爾茲換成拉塞爾威爾遜。

Many questioned the decision because of how Wilson had looked during his time with the Denver Broncos. However, the former Seattle Seahawks legend has added a vertical element to the Steelers' passing game that Fields just didn't have.

許多人對這一決定提出質疑，因為威爾森在丹佛野馬隊效力期間的樣子。然而，這位前西雅圖海鷹隊的傳奇人物為鋼人隊的傳球比賽增添了菲爾茲所沒有的垂直元素。

Wilson still isn't the type of downfield passer who is going to challenge a defense in all areas of the field. He still struggles to attack over the middle, especially in some of those intermediate zones, but he throws a great deep ball and is willing to let it fly. With George Pickens and Mike Williams, two great contested catch receivers, on the outside, the Steelers are generating explosive plays in the passing game in a way they weren't before.

威爾森仍然不是那種會在場上所有區域挑戰防守的前場傳球手。他仍然很難在中路進攻，尤其是在一些中間區域，但他能投出一記很棒的深球，並且願意讓它飛出去。憑藉喬治·皮肯斯和邁克·威廉姆斯這兩位出色的接球接球手，鋼人隊在外線的傳球比賽中以前所未有的方式創造出爆炸性的表現。

Wilson is also protecting the ball and not making reckless decisions despite constantly pushing the ball, as he has thrown just one interception in 85 attempts this season. This Steelers team is always going to be defined by its defense and the running game has to improve as the season goes on if they want to be a true contender. However, Wilson raises the team's ceiling in a way that they haven't had in at least a few years.

威爾森也在保護球，儘管不斷推球，但他並沒有做出魯莽的決定，因為他在本賽季的 85 次嘗試中僅攔截了 1 次。如果鋼人隊想成為真正的競爭者，那麼他們的防守總是會被定義，隨著賽季的進行，他們的跑動能力也必須提高。然而，威爾遜以一種至少幾年來從未有過的方式提高了球隊的上限。
