DETROIT'S OWN LARRY FOOTE (U-M) CELEBRATES ANOTHER AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

Ben Roethlisberger knelt on the turf and buried his head in an AFC championship shirt.

One more great game by Roethlisberger and his teammates and the season will end in a way hardly anyone could foresee back in September.

He sat out the season’s first four games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy—an outgrowth of a college student’s accusations that he sexually assaulted her in Georgia last March. The quarterback was never prosecuted over what was the second such set of allegations against him.

Now he will lead the Steelers into their eighth Super Bowl, a game they handle pretty well—and have a record six titles to show for it.
The Steelers (14-4) will challenge the Packers, who are 2 1/2 -point favorites, with a versatile attack led by their quarterback and running back Rashard Mendenhall.

And with a defense, led by James Harrison, that had a fumble return for a touchdown and a goal-line stand that shut down the Jets’ comeback in the fourth quarter. Former Detroit Lions linebacker Larry Foote didn’t have to do a whole lot this time. Not with the way his teammates whipped the Jets at the line of scrimmage before a spirited New York surge in the second half.


It will certainly test Aaron Rodgers in the title game in Dallas on Feb. 6.

That smothering defense set the tone for most of a frigid night at Heinz Field to end the Jets’ stunning postseason run. Ryan slammed down his headset when Antonio Brown caught a pass for a first down that allowed Pittsburgh to hang on and run out the clock.
