The Steelers got out to a 24-0 lead in the AFC Championship and then hosted on for dear life as they beat the Jets 24-19, just covering the 3.5 point spread.

Ugly Win
The Steelers started strong but in total they won an unpleasant match.

When the Steelers necessary a major play it was Major Ben who delivered. Roethlisberger directed the Steelers to their third Super Bowl appearance in the last five years. The Steelers squads of 2005 and 2008 both won the Super Bowl with Major Ben in charge.

First Half
The Steelers owned the Jets in the 1st half as they got out to a 24-3 lead. Running back Rashard Mendenhall had 95 of his 121 yards and a td in the 1st half. The Steelers played like a team with a major lead in the 2nd half and it practically cost them the match.

Dominate Defense
The Steelers finished the regular season with the #1 defense in pro football and it was on display on Sunday. The defense made a big play in the 1st half as Ike Taylor sacked New York quarterback Mark Sanchez pressuring a fumble and William Gay ran it in from 22 yards out for a TD.

Late Rally Falls Short
The Jets cut the Pittsburgh lead to 24-19 with 3:06 remaining as Mark Sanchez hit Jerricho Cotchery for a short TD pass. The problem for the Jets is that they never got the ball back again. New York actually ended up outgaining the Steelers in the match but the major fumble return for a TD and the bad 1st half was just too much for the Jets to overcome although they made things intriguing at the conclusion.
