(21 Jan 2009) HEADLINE: AFC title game features Steelers and Ravens CAPTION: Baltimore and Pittsburgh are squaring off to decide to advances to the Super Bowl from the AFC. (Jan. 15) THESE GUYS JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF EACH OTHER. FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS SEASON THE STEELERS AND RAVENS WILL SQUARE OFF. THIS ONE ON SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE PLAYED AT A FROSTY HEINZ FIELD.... WITH A SUPER BOWL BERTH AT STAKE. PITTSBURGH WON BOTH PREVIOUS MEETINGS - BOTH CLOSE GAMES -- THE LAST COMING IN WEEK 15 AMID CONTROVERSY. THAT GAME IN BALTIMORE FEATURED BEN ROTHLISBERGER'S TOUCHDOWN PASS TO SANTONIO HOLMES IN THE FINAL MINUTE THAT GAVE THE STEELERS A 13-9 WIN. PITTSBURGH'S FIRST WIN OVER THE RAVENS CAME AT HOME... IN OVERTIME -- BACK IN WEEK 4. IN THAT ONE, STEELERS LINEBACKER JAMES HARRISON STARRED WITH 10 TACKLES, 2-AND-A-HALF SACKS AND FORCED FUMBLE THAT WAS RETURNED FOR A TOUCHDOWN...FOR A 23-20 WIN. THOSE TWO GAMES MADE A DIFFERENCE. PITTSBURGH WON THE AFC NORTH WITH A 12-AND-4 RECORD. BALTIMORE WAS SECOND IN THE DIVISION AT 11-AND-5. (SOT / RACHEL COHEN: "As the teams proved in they're two previous meetings, clearly the two teams are close. But Pittsburgh won both those games, so right now you have believe they're slightly better, and nothing they've done in recent weeks has proven anything otherwise that they're a good team." :13) PITTSBURGH'S ALL-PRO SAFETY TROY POLAMALU WILL BE LIMITED BY AN INJURED CALF MUSCLE SUFFERED IN LAST WEEK'S WIN OVER SAN DIEGO. AS FOR THE RAVENS, LINEBACKER TERRELL SUGGS SPRAINED HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.. MAKING A SACK IN THE WIN OVER TENNESSEE. AND THEN THERE IS QUARTERBACK JOE FLACCO, WHO WILL BE TRYING TO KEEP HIS AMAZING ROOKIE-SEASON RUN GOING... BY TAKING THE RAVENS TO SUPER BOWL 43. DAVE LUBESKI, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
