The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to take on the New York Jets this Sunday at Heinz Field. In a come from behind win, the Steelers roared back to take the Baltimore Ravens out of the tournament; as Hines Ward stated. Their opponent will be the New York Jets who surprised the New England Patriots to earn a trip to Pittsburgh.
Ben Roethlisberger is 9-2 in the playoffs and will be looking to make it 10 and earn a birth to his 3rd Super Bowl in his young career. In what should be a real battle of two of the leagues best defenses, the Steelers will look to avenge the regular season loss and move their way to securing an unprecedented 7th Lombardi trophy.
On the injury front, Aaron Smith will practice with the team and if ready to go, will come in on a limited basis. A hopeful Mike Tomlin states that getting Smith back would be a nice tool to have in the toolbox. Those limited in practice this week are Will Allen and Darren McFadden, who are both expected to go this Sunday.
