Game Ball
James Harrison had 3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble forced, 1 fumble recovered and 1 defensive touchdown when he returned it 58 yards to give the game it's only touchdown.

The sixth ranked defence travelled to the first ranked defence where they bouted in a touchdownless game. The Denver Broncos found out that Kyle Orton is no good in the playoffs throwing 4 interceptions and throwing for under 90 yards.

The Game opened with the Denver Broncos looking good, but as soon as they entered Steeler territory Kyle Orton threw a interception to James Farrior. The Steelers took advantage and grinded out a 50 yard 14 plays drive where Lones Seiber hit the field goal good, but holding called it back and he missed leaving the scores unchanged at 0-0.

With 3 and out's for the duration of the first quarter the Steelers punted to the Broncos in which ex Steeler Stefan Logan tried to return a punt only to see Rolando McClain force and fumble and James Harrison return it 58 yards for the only touchdown of the day.

With just under 5 minutes left the Broncos threw an interception to William Gay who returned it 24 yards to put Lones Seiber in field goal range, in which he hit is third successful field goal ending the Broncos hopes.

The Steelers only managed 194 yards whilst the Broncos managed 178 yards. Ben Roethlisberger only threw for 102 but it was enough as the defence carried them through to the AFC Championship for the 3rd time in 6 years.

When LaMarr Woodley who piled up 19 sacks this year was asked how they shut out the Broncos and lost against the Browns... twice he replied "Well i just guess playoff's are alot different to the regular season, the towels are constant waving, renegade comes on, i guess we really wanted this win and got it"

Next Week the Steelers travel to LP Field to face off against the #3 defence and the MVP Candidate Chris Johnson.

Head to Head:The Pittsburgh Steelers own the overall series and lead 39-29.

Chris Johnson will try and become the first NFL Player to rush for over 200 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs

Chris Johnson surpassed Erik Dickerson's record in 2010 with 2285 yards on 430 attempts with 17 touchdowns.

The Last time these sides played he ran for 23 yards on 11 attempts and fumbled the ball. This time around he is preparing himself for a big as he swept the Patriots aside last week with 200 yards and 3 touchdowns.

"Im definitley going to go over 100 yards, i'll see if i can get 250 yards i know i can their ranked near middle in the league at protecting the run... imma gon break a long one and when i do Polamalu can kiss da baby".

Strong words from the best running back in the NFL as the Steelers have allowed 75 yards per game against the run, quite good stats but not as good as Seattle's 55. In which Chris Johnson rushed in 2009. "It time for me to get into the Hall of Fame baby".

Head to Head:The Pittsburgh Steelers lead 3-1 in he overall series.

After spending one season out of the playoffs the Super Bowl XLIII Champions are back in, Santonio Holmes is someone who when needed produces big, injuring his wrist in the Conference Championship late in the 4th there were doubts if he would be able to play, that would spell even more bad luck as Troy Polamalu has an arm fracture keeping him out of the #1 defence's lineup.

Given the green light and listed as Probable Santonio Holmes isn't wasting any time "Im gonna go out there and perform like a beast, I'm going to do my part, it's enivitable that were great, we need this one for seven trophies"
