Steelers Could Surprise with a Super Bowl Appearance
The New England Patriots get a lot of love from the sports media but the Pittsburgh Steelers could be the team that represents the AFC in the Super Bowl.
Why? The Steelers are a complete team that plays well on offense, defense and special teams. Ben Roethlisberger has finished the season strong, winning the AFC North division and ensuring a home playoff game.
The Steelers will play in the Wild Card round against the Miami Dolphins. It should be noted that the Dolphins were recently decimated by the New England Patriots. The Dolphins have had a good season but they will need everything to go wrong for the Steelers in order to win this game.
In fact, oddsmakers have given the Steelers a 10 point advantage in this game. Laveon Bell will likely control the pace of the game as the Steelers will use him as their primary offensive weapon.
Antonio Brown will also have a big day as the Dolphins have had problems defending the deep threat. The Steelers look like one of the hottest teams entering the NFL playoffs. Expect a clash between the Steelers and Patriots at some point during the 2016-2017 NFL playoffs.
