Matchup of the Game: countering the Heinz culture

It is old home week Sunday in Pittsburgh (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) for Dunlap even though he admits the experience in Heinz Field can be hostile enough to elicit four-letter words. And that doesn’t include, “spit,” which he says can also come flying from the faithful.

Dunlap says that’s OK because he’s used to the SEC. And he’ll get another reminder of his days at Florida when he sees Gilbert, his fellow Gator and offseason workout partner, across the way. It’s a ProFootballFocus.com dream matchup with the 6-6, 280-pound Dunlap, the NFL co-sack leader with 6.5, facing the 6-6, 330-pound Gilbert fresh off his shutout of Chiefs sack ace Justin Houston that extended his season-long skein of not allowing a sack.
