Divisional Round Matchup Preview
Saturday, January 16, 4:15 PM @ Heinz Field

(11-5) @ (14-2)



It was February 1, 2009 when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23, in one of the most dramatic finishes in Super Bowl history. The victory gave the Steelers their sixth Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

If the Steelers hope to repeat, the Bills stand in their way.

All eyes will be on the Bills offensive line who will be given the task of trying to stop a defense that ranked #1 in sacks this season. While the Bills O-line has made visible improvements over the course of the season, they haven't faced a D-line quite like the Steelers' just yet'.

Then there is this year's MVP Ben Roethlisberger. In his five-year career, Roethlisberger is 56-24 with an 8-2 record in the playoffs. Plain and simple, he wins football games. Sometimes it seems as though he makes plays that no one else on the field can make. With nineteen come-from-behind wins to his credit, Roethlisberger always plays big when he needs to.

I wouldn't count these Bills out considering how many eyes they have opened over the course of the year, winning games that seemed almost unwinnable. But the odds are definitely not in their favor.

The Steelers have shown every sign of a team ready to repeat as champions this season, posting a 14-2 record and clinching the AFC Conference.
