As the season moves on, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots look like the teams we thought they were heading into the season.  This week, with the Pats coming off of a bye and the Steelers narrowly surviving a game against the Cardinals, the two will square up in Pittsburgh.  Could it be a potential preview of the AFC Championship Game?  You never know with these two, as they’ve been in and out of the biggest postseason games in the AFC over the last decade, with a combined five Super Bowl rings in the process.

This year, both teams are relying as much on the pass as they ever have before, which should also make for a much more high-flying game than you might usually think a game featuring the Steelers would have.  Tom Brady and the Pats have been carving up secondaries, even without the deep threat that he used to have.  Wes Welker is having a Hall of Fame level season so far, but the Steelers have expanded their aerial attack and Ben Roethlisberger is showing that he’s more than just a guy who can hang in the pocket and make a play.  With plenty on the line for both teams, this should be one of the best and most grueling matchups of the weekend.
