PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their 15th trip to the AFC championship game, and this appearance may be more satisfying than most.
The Steelers (13-4) rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens 31-24 on Saturday, a victory that coach Mike Tomlin says makes Pittsburgh “the true champions of the AFC North.”
It also puts the Steelers within one more win of another trip to the Super Bowl.
Ben Roethlisberger threw for two touchdowns and orchestrated a 65-yard drive in the closing minutes that included a 58-yard pass to rookie Antonio Brown on third-and-19. That set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Rashard Mendenhall with 1:33 left for a 31-24 lead.
Soon thereafter, the Steelers and a delirious crowd at Heinz Field began gearing up for another trip to the AFC title game.
