Steelers hope length equals disruption against Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett

PITTSBURGH -- Artie Burns, 6-foot.

Ross Cockrell, 6-0.

Sean Davis, 6-1.

Justin Gilbert, 6-0.

Those are all Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs with quality size and athleticism who weren't involved in last season's 28-21 loss to the New England Patriots, who benefited from three Rob Gronkowski touchdown catches in that Week 1 showdown.

The Steelers know Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will get his share of yards when Pittsburgh and New England meet Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Heinz Field.
