If you watched the first half of the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, then you might have been tempted to turn the game off. The Steelers lead the Jets 24-0 at halftime and appeared on their way to their eighth Super Bowl.
Steelers Put Up Best Half Of 2010 Season In Victory Over Jets
SB Nation’s Behind The Steel Curtain said, after the first half, they were ready to book their ticket to Dallas. The Jets put up 19 second half points to make it interesting but that ticket to Dallas is still good for Steelers fans.
When the Steelers took a 24-3 lead into intermission, I felt confident booking my flight to Dallas and declaring it a game. That said, I thought all week that this game would be close and that the New York Jets would play a really good game. And they did. Even in the first 30 minutes, the Jets didn’t necessarily play awful football. It’s just that Pittsburgh pieced together it’s absolute best half of the 2010 season. And wow, what a time to do it.
What a time is right. At one point late in the second half, the Jets had the ball, down five points, with a chance to win. But, like it’s been all season, the Steelers defense stepped it up sending the Jets back to New York.
So the Steelers will be headed to Dallas to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Feb. 6. Check out Behind The Steel Curtain to see what Steelers fans are saying about the game.
