BUSted

Don't count the AFC North champs out yet. With Jerome Bettis' 5-yard touchdown blast, the Steelers have cut the Pat's lead to 24-10. It's still an uphill battle, but if the first four minutes of the second half are any indication, this game might be more interesting than I thought.

After the Steelers' defense forced a New England three-and-out on the Pat's first second-half drive, they went 56 yards to the house. I'm not saying that one Pittsburg touchdown is going to make this game close, but it's the first step.
