Ben Roethlisberger and his wide receivers had a field day against the 49ers secondary in Week 2.
Big Ben threw for 369 yards and three scores, and the Steelers also turned in plays of 20 or more yards six times.
Now the 49ers defense faces a Cardinals offense has put up 31 and 48 points, respectively, through the first two weeks of the season.

"As one of the leaders in the secondary, my thing to everybody was, 'We're going to get challenged again this week,'" Bethea said, via San Jose Mercury News. "From watching film, they're going to think they can throw the ball up on us."
It's not rocket science to figure out that's what the Cardinals want to do.

The 49ers defense hope it's a better showing in Week 3 compared to last Sunday.
