You may be surprised to learn that the Bears/Packers is not the only game happening this Sunday. There is another conference... the AFC... remember them? Well, if not then let's do something sports reporters across the country have been forgetting to do all week: cover that game too.
Last weekend the Jets beat the New England Patriots. The Patriots looked as if they suffered some sort of temporary paralysis as the Jets pounded them up and down the field. The Jets are a good team, but not a Super Bowl good team. They are, like the Packers, a 6-seeded team. To get to this game they beat the Colts and the Patriots, both while on the road.
The Steelers are, just like the Bears, a second-seeded team (aren't the similarities striking!?) Last week they beat the Ravens at home. They play again this Sunday night at Heinz Field where they are favored to win by 3.5 points.
The Jets have been out to cross teams off their list. I have a feeling the Steelers are going to take that list, ball it up, and throw it back in Rex Ryan's face. But maybe not, Big Ben may just politely ask the Jets to step aside as they march past them on their way to Dallas. I hear he's a much nicer person these days.
