‘Deflategate’ Snub? Patriots-Steelers Matchup Minus Roger Goodell

This weekend is mainly about Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Ryan, and Ben Roethlisberger. That was in 2012 with Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens.

The Steelers managed to advance past the Kansas City Chiefs on the road without scoring a touchdown, but they will probably need at least three to win at New England and make it to their ninth Super Bowl.

On Saturday night, the New England football squad topped the Houston Texans in a somewhat freakish performance from the Pats.

“Hey, listen, I’ve never done this before, but I would love to get a jersey at some point”, Roethlisberger said to Brady, whose Patriots beat the Steelers, 27-16, in their regular-season meeting in Pittsburgh. We’ve seen him be a threat from the receiving position many times as well, averaging 157 scrimmage yards per game this season. A game of this magnitude between two of the NFL’s winningest franchises is exactly what Mitchell envisioned when he made a decision to ink a free agent deal with the Steelers prior to the 2013 season. The Patriots also had all-pro TE Rob Gronkowski on the field that day and his 4 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown will surely be missed in this rematch. Pittsburgh’s offense had the 14 ranked rushing attack with 110.0 yards per fame. The young man is averaging over 168 yards per game this postseason. As for Pittsburgh, it has the toughest task of all.

Belichick will spend this week reminding them the lessons of Saturday night, that you can’t expect to win an National Football League playoff game unless you are completely prepared and ready to go. The Steelers, meanwhile, are making their approach for a trench run, with a Steelers-logo-emblazened Millennium Falcon leading the charge.

“I think he does things that no one in the league has ever done, or can do, just because of his physical ability” the four-time Super Bowl champion said. On Sunday, Mitchell will be tasked with attempting to stop Tom Brady and the New England’s fifth-ranked passing attack. He then touched quickly on all the receivers he has played with over the years, which was part of the theme of the SI article. Neither team has a particular glaring weakness on the defensive side of the ball. The game will feature a matchup between Toomey’s Pittsburgh Steelers and Warren’s New England Patriots – both teams vying for a spot in the Super Bowl.

Does it guarantee success?
