“Being so close to the ultimate goal you have as a player, and to see the team that you lost to being able to move on to the Super Bowl“.

In Week 7 versus the Steelers, Brady went 19-of-26 for 222 yards and two touchdowns for a 93.0 QB rating.
“He’ll most definitely test me, that’s what he does”, Burns said of Brady. So far in the playoffs, he has shredded Miami and Kansas City for a combined 337 yards on the ground. Because that means you can live stream the Patriots and Steelers game on CBSSports.com!
It’s nearly the difference between having Brock Osweiler as your quarterback and Tom Brady.
King has found his niche in the National Football League – playing on special teams for the Patriots.
In the AFC, New England hosts Pittsburgh at Gillette Stadium. The Steelers won’t squander those the way the Texans did.
Michael Floyd won’t be dropping any passes this week. Bell has been a monster the second half of the season, rushing for over 100 yards in seven of his last eight games, including 170 and 167, respectively, in two playoff games.
Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is averaging 168.5 yards per playoff game. Even Blount has a chance to be the hero. However, I don’t think any Patriots fans out there thinks this is going to be a walk in the park.
If there’s any hint to what the Patriots’ strategy might be this week, it’s that there has been a ton of film study on Bell and the damage he can do to any defense.
This season, the Falcons are 11-5 and the Packers are 10-6.
“There have been times this year that they’re asking for, let’s go do this, and I’ll go tell coach (Todd) Haley they want this, the line wants this, let’s do it”.
Pittsburgh lost 27-16 when they hosted New England on October 23, but Roethlisberger missed the game with a knee injury. It is the first time the Steelers have had three rookie starters on defense since 1971, when Jack Ham, Mike Wagner and Dwight White all started. Both teams are very capable of putting up 40 points on either defense and most likely will. However, he will be without his best target, tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has been out for the season with an injury.
After today’s games, we will know who will be playing in Super Bowl 51.
You could make a strong argument the Falcons’ defense isn’t as good as these three units. They haven’t allowed more than 20 points in a game since Week 13 (except for Week 17 when the Saints scored 32 and Falcons scored 38).
