An important NFL game features the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans Monday night. With both teams sitting at 3-3, something has to break.

Let's take a look at the matchup and how it affects Madden NFL 15 as well.

Jadeveon Clowney is the Texans' rookie defensive end. He was also the first overall draft pick of the 2014 draft. However, he has not shown much this entire season. In six games, Clowney has only appeared in one, recording one tackle. Monday, he is a gametime decision due to his knee injury he sustained way back in Week 1. Clowney is rated an 83 overall (OVR) rating.

"I talk to the guys every day," Clowney said to HoustonTexans.com last month. "I'm like, 'I'm kind of upset I haven't had a chance to play with you guys right now.' They're like, 'Don't worry about it. It's a long season. Get healthy and help the team when you get back.'" 

Could Clowney's absence for all these weeks allow his rating to slip? It should. If the guy cannot get on the field why should he be rewarded with an 83 OVR rating?

On Pittsburgh's side of the field, Ben Roethlisberger has quietly had a pretty good season so far. He has eight touchdowns and only three interceptions. 

Big Ben is rated at a 91 OVR. He has averaged 265 yards per game passing, and he has been helped out immensely by the run game. If Big Ben has a big game Monday, he could go up to a 92 or 93 OVR rating when the next roster update is released.

Who do you think wins tonight? Is Clowney rated too high? Is Big Ben rated too low? Leave us a comment below and let us know what you think.
