The beginning of a long day

The AFC Championship game is arguably over. The Patriots are up 24-3 with just over two minutes to go in the half. The Patriots have won the last 11 games where the Pat's defense scores, and Rodney Harrison's 87-yard INT return will seal the fate of the Steelers.

The Patriots' defense isn't the type of squad that would give up a 21-point lead. They aren't even the type to give up a two possession lead. If the Steelers come back and win this game, I will be thoroughly shocked. Next season, though, I'd watch out for Pittsburg. They have proven that all the pieces are in place to remain a conference powerhouse. They are, however, down by 21 to the defending world champs and potential newest NFL dynasty.
