I've been getting hammered with a bunch of crap from Browns fans in northeast Ohio, saying that the Steelers are ripe for an upset from the Broncos. Here's what I've heard.....

* the fact that the Steelers are literally the walking wounded.
* that they're favored by 9 points for an away game.
* that the altitude in the Mile High City will be an advantage for the Broncos.
* that the Broncos will be sky high for their first playoff game in years; and...
* and (I know this is a stretch) the Tebow factor......

So you non-believers and Broncos dreamers..... keep this in mind:.

* The Denver Broncos last went to the playoffs in 2005.
* That year they lost the Conference Championship to the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-17 (in Denver).
* That year the Steelers were also a wild card team.
* That year the Steelers won Super Bowl XL (21-10 over Seattle).

GO STEELERS!
