Madden Ranks Pittsburgh #1

Madden Football ranks the Pittsburgh Steelers number one.

Offense: (5)-- Most of this team's strength is on the defensive side of the ball, but Madden is pretty generous to the offensive line this year. In addition, Hines and Big Ben get fairly favorable scores (94 and 92, respectively) and Heath Miller's 87 rating makes up for the lack of a top RB.

Defense: (5)-- Polamalu leads the way as he jumped up to a 98 overall, with 93 speed and 95 acceleration. Porter is right behind him as a 97 overall with 85 speed. The corners are pretty solid, as are the rest of the linebackers. You'd like a little more speed on the D-line, but if you blitz with Porter he fills that need.

Outlook: The Steelers lack the classic elements of a strong Madden team, but are ranked number one because of the age old tradition in Madden to make the previous year’s Super Bowl winner a little better than they should be.
