Polamalu remains big focus for Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Gone are some of the familiar faces on the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense, as James Harrison is now in Cincinnati and James Farrior is in his second year of retirement, but the back end of the defense remains intact, led by safety Troy Polamalu, now in his 11th NFL season. While some would suggest Polamalu's play has slipped as he's aged into his 30s, it's clear that he remains a focal point for the New England Patriots' offense this week as the unit prepares for a Sunday showdown.
