Something Old: The Steelers and Skins last faced each other in 2004. Big Ben was a rookie, Clinton Portis was in his first year with the Redskins, and Antwaan Randle El was in a Steelers’ jersey. The Steelers won the game 16-7, but that, of course, was pre-Zorn.

Something New: Both teams have two losses this season (and both have lost to the New York Giants). The Skins rank 7th overall on offense, while the Steelers are 25th. Pittsburgh, however, ranks 1st against the pass and 1st overall on defense.

With those stats in mind, expect a lot of and from running back Clinton Portis this Monday. Portis has a league-leading 944 yards so far this season -- it will be interesting to see if he breaks the 1,000 yard mark against the top defense in the NFL . The more intriguing challenge Monday, however, is for Santana Moss, who is fifth overall in the NFL in receiving yards and is averaging 15.7 yards per catch. This year, it seems as Moss goes, so go the Redskins (unless they’re playing Philly) -- and if all goes well for Moss against the top passing defense Monday night, the Redskins should win. Watch out for Chris Cooley as well. And is it possible Jason Campbell still hasn’t thrown an interception?

Something Blue: Jason Taylor and Shawn Springs will both sit out Monday’s game due to calf injuries , and Jason Campbell will be without Malcom Kelly (knee injury). Meanwhile, the Steelers’ injury list is more extensive than an IRS tax form and includes running back Willie Parker and several Steelers’ special teams players.

For the Chips ‘N Dip crowd (those of you there for the food, the beer, or because your boyfriend gave you no choice): Still undecided? Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama will each be interviewed at halftime via satellite by ESPN’s Chris Berman. ESPN is touting it as the candidates’ last prime-time appearance before voters go to the polls the next day. Also, ESPN.com reports the Redskins are ‘an accurate barometer for presidential elections,’ and that according to the "Redskins Rule," a Steelers win on Monday would mean a win for Obama, while a Redskins’ victory would mean a win for McCain.
