I would like to thank the Pittsburgh Steelers. On 5/23/2005, I wrote my 2005 NFL Preview. In that article, I stated the Steelers would represent the AFC in this year's Superbowl.

Yesterday, the Steelers became only the second team in NFL history to win 3 road playoff games. The 1985 New England Patriots was the other team that accomplished this feat. The Steelers did not care that the Denver Broncos had not lost a home game this season. The game was not close. The Pittsburgh Steelers 34-17 victory showed both their offensive and defensive dominance. The Steelers' defense caused four turnovers, including two interceptions and fumbles. The Broncos did not have an answer to stop Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. "Big Ben" was able to spread the ball all over the field. I started to believe that Steelers wide receiver Cedric Wilson, who had 5 receptions for 92 yards and a TD, was All-Pro.

Steelers Head Coach Bill Cowher should be proud of his team's effort. They literally whipped the Denver Broncos. The Steelers next challenge will be in Super Bowl XL against the NFC's number one seed, the Seattle Seahawks. This is probably the best offensive and defensive matchup in the NFL. I can't wait for this year's Superbowl.
