Maybe no team in NFL history has gone through a more difficult path through the playoffs to win a Super Bowl than the Pittsburgh Steelers did two years ago.
The one they now face could easily top it.
With possibly the least momentum of any playoff team and missing their Pro Bowl running back, the Steelers host the only visiting team to win at Heinz Field all season when they meet the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night.
Even if Pittsburgh (10-6) can get by Jacksonville (11-5), which beat the Steelers 29-22 on Dec. 16, its road back to the Super Bowl could include road games against unbeaten New England and defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis.
Before they can think about going on the road next week, the Steelers must knock off a Jaguars team which won six of seven before losing a meaningless regular-season finale. One of those victories included the trip to Heinz Field, preventing Pittsburgh from finishing with an 8-0 home record.
The Steelers even had Willie Parker for that game and he ran for 100 yards, but his season ended four days later when he broke his leg in a game at St. Louis. That leaves Pittsburgh without the NFL's fourth-leading rusher.
Parker has been replaced by Najeh Davenport, who came off the bench against the Rams to rush for 123 yards before being held to 27 last week on 12 carries in a 27-21 loss at Baltimore. Pittsburgh came out flat in that game, falling behind 17-0, despite entering with a chance to claim the AFC's No. 3 seed.
"A lot of things are of concern. What lies ahead is an enormous playoff game versus a great football team at our place," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "If there is any hesitation, they better quickly get over it because the ball is going to be kicked off here shortly."
Are you tired of paying high cable/statellite subscription fees month after month just to watch your favourite NFL matches? Do you work uncoventional hours or travel alot and you have to miss your football match?
These problems can easily be solved because you can now Watch Super Bowl XLIV Live Online using the latest online technology! As a football fanatic, I loved the thrill and sheer brutality of any NFL football season and I won't settle for missing even one second of the 2009 Season.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find local or even cable channels that broadcast EVERY game of the 2009 NFL football season up to date and more importantly at a reasonable and affordable price!
Although you can purchase Direct TV's NFL Game Pass, but paying for satellite installation and huge monthly service dues do not fall into the reasonable and affordable category in my book. What happen to those who don't have satellite or cable but still want to watch NFL?
With the advancement of technology, you can now Watch Super Bowl XLIV Live Online almost FREE! As a result, I have since cancelled my direct TV subscription and now saving hundreds of dollars!!
