迈克·汤姆林表示，帕特里克·奎因对阵乌鸦队的复仇比赛将成为钢人队的“动力”

本赛季迄今为止最大的 NFL 比赛之一将于周日早上拉开帷幕，届时匹兹堡钢人队将迎战巴尔的摩乌鸦队。两支球队本赛季都取得了七场胜利，因此这场比赛的结果将对亚足联北区和亚足联外卡赛产生巨大影响。

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.

匹兹堡钢人队和巴尔的摩乌鸦队将于周日在亚足联北部进行一场关键的比赛，前乌鸦队线卫帕特里克·奎因将寻求向他的老东家报仇。

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.

奎因在巴尔的摩效力了四个赛季后以自由球员身份与钢人队签约，今年她在匹兹堡队表现出色，在 9 场比赛中完成了 62 次铲球。在对阵乌鸦队的第一场比赛之前，钢人队主教练迈克·汤姆林透露了一个让他在这场比赛中兴奋起来的计划。

"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."

汤姆林通过 ESPN 的布鲁克·普赖尔 (Brooke Pryor) 说道：“如果这能给你任何迹象的话，我会派他去掷硬币。” “动力是好的。我们是人类，每个人都希望感到被需要。所以我想这不仅是本周的动力，而且可能是他每周的动力。”

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.

尽管奎因是 2021 年 NFL 最佳防守的关键人物，但乌鸦队在上个休赛期选择不重新签下奎因。巴尔的摩的防守本赛季有所后退，第二后卫位置缺乏稳定性也是原因之一。的原因。

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

与此同时，钢人队已经成为季后赛的合法威胁，这在很大程度上要归功于拉塞尔·威尔逊。

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.

尽管本赛季在胜利方面取得了强劲的开局，但在老将四分卫小腿伤势恢复后，迈克·汤姆林仍然做出了有争议的决定，将贾斯汀·菲尔兹换成拉塞尔·威尔逊。

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.

许多人对这一决定提出质疑，因为威尔逊在丹佛野马队效力期间的样子。然而，这位前西雅图海鹰队的传奇人物为钢人队的传球比赛增添了菲尔兹所没有的垂直元素。

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.

威尔逊仍然不是那种会在场上所有区域挑战防守的前场传球手。他仍然很难在中路进攻，尤其是在一些中间区域，但他能投出一记很棒的深球，并且愿意让它飞出去。凭借乔治·皮肯斯和迈克·威廉姆斯这两位出色的接球接球手，钢人队在外线的传球比赛中以前所未有的方式创造出爆炸性的表现。

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.

威尔逊也在保护球，尽管不断推球，但他并没有做出鲁莽的决定，因为他在本赛季的 85 次尝试中仅拦截了 1 次。如果钢人队想成为真正的竞争者，那么他们的防守总是会被定义，随着赛季的进行，他们的跑动能力也必须提高。然而，威尔逊以一种至少几年来从未有过的方式提高了球队的上限。
