AFC Champs

The Pittsburgh Steelers came out as AFC champs today after beating the Ravens in a nail biter 23-14. A big reason for this was the poor performance by Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco who threw three costly interceptions one of which was returned for a touchdown sealing the game for the Steelers. He also only went 13/30 for 141 yards and an 18.2 quarterbacking rating. The Steelers number ranked defense not only held the Ravens to 141 yards through the air and taking three interceptions but also held them to under 100 yards on the ground. On the other side of the ball Ben Rothlesberger had a decent game going 16/33, 255 yards and a touchdown and leading the Steelers to a win. Big Ben threw his only touchdown to reciever Santonio Holmes who caught two passes for 70 yards including the 65 yard touchdown pass.The Pittsburg running game on the other hand was shut down only going for 53 yards. Today was the third time that the Steelers beat in division rivals the Ravens this year proving their dominance over the East. Coach Mike Tomlin is now taking the Steelers to the Super Bowl in only his second season as the head coach of the team. If the Steelers win in two weeks in Tampa against the Cardinals they will be the only team with six Super Bowl wins in the league.
