Steelers: Hall of Fame Game Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday by allowing several veterans to rest, giving young players an opportunity to showcase their skills instead.  Choosing caution, head coach Mike Tomlin will field a team of players battling for a final roster spot.
