The win bought the Steelers one day of entertainment, because today they -- well, most of them -- plan to watch the Patriots-Colts game. The winner of that game travels to Heinz Field for the AFC championship Sunday.
That casts today's game in an odd light for the Steelers. It's half-business, half-pleasure. Or, for one player, no pleasure. "I've never watched a football game in my life," safety Troy Polamalu said, promising that wouldn't change today. "But, hopefully, the game goes into, like, 50 overtimes and lasts a few days. I'd be OK with that."
Polamalu is one funny guy.
