It was one helluva entertaining game, with fans across the country having to fight back the onset of cardiac arrest on multiple occasions throughout the game.  But I'll save...  

The abomination at Arrowhead was all part of “the plan." So was the loss to the Bengals the week earlier. The Steelers have set out to lull the rest of the AFC playoff field into a false sense of security. Any time now, they will spring their trap. After all, no team can possibly give up four kickoff returns in five weeks, right? That must have been intentional. Maybe the special teams were just itching to set a record. Maybe they were feeling...  

Two weeks ago, the Steelers were playing for the AFC North Division lead. A week ago, they were playing to solidify their hold on an AFC wild-card berth.

DENVER - The showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos on Monday night features two of the AFC's top teams, a couple of the hardest-hitting defenses in the league and a pair of the NFL's brightest young coaching minds.  

Broncos-Steelers, two likely AFC contenders. Personally I'll be rooting for the Steelers to give the Colts a 2 game lead on the rest of the AFC, and because Smire-Time Hines Wald and HARF HARF Ben are two of my all time favorite characters in any medium. Even more interesting is the battle for the leagues drunkest, beardedest, quarterback in the league. vs.

Thought I had seen everything when Jeff Reed missed those two field goals in a loss in Chicago in September. I mean, really. Who on the Steelers' roster is more dependable than Reed?  

After a disastrous loss to the lowly Chiefs, and Cincinnati's equally disastrous loss to the even lowlier Raiders, the Steelers find themselves in a knock-down, drag-out fight for the AFC North title and a Wild Card spot at the same time. PZB promises not to mention the phrase "let-down game" again.   The phrases "The Hated Ravens" and "Rivalry Week" will be used liberally, though. It's so much fun to hate the Ravens, but frankly, there's so...  

The Steelers were 3-0 against the Ravens last year. Can we keep that streak going and stay in the hunt for the AFC North and in plenty good shape in the Wild Card?  Was it just a coincidence I encountered this dead bird earlier today? We'll see.  Go Steelers!  

During the few rough patches the Pittsburgh Steelers encountered while winning the Super Bowl last season, they emphasized their camaraderie and selflessness pushed them through the tough times and set them apart from most teams. Linebacker James Farrior said they were more like a family than a football team.  

Isaac Redman, the camp phenom who also led the Steelers in rushing during the preseason, was elevated from the practice squad to the team's 53-man roster.  

What's old hat for the Pittsburgh Steelers is new world for the Cincinnati Bengals.
