The Steelers and Broncos have met six times in the postseason with the teams splitting the series 3-3. The winner has advanced to the Super Bowl in five of those meetings, including Super Bowl wins in the past two (1997 and 2005).

The Steelers enter the postseason having won 10 of their final 12 games, including six of their past seven. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had 4,077 passing yards and has recorded the only two 4,000-yard seasons in franchise history. Defensively, Pittsburgh led the NFL in total defense (271.8 yards per game) and passing defense (171.9).

“Any time you're in the postseason, you're happy to be there,” says Steelers tight end Heath Miller. “We have a good core group of guys who have been there before. We know what to expect. We'll be up to the challenge.”

The Broncos went from worst-to-first in the AFC West, winning the division after finishing in last place a season ago. Denver, which used a six-game winning streak to get back in the race, is the fifth team in NFL history to reach the postseason after starting 2-5 or worse after seven games. Second-year quarterback Tim Tebow won seven of his 11 starts for the Broncos, including all six wins during the club's winning streak.

“We're AFC West champions,” says Broncos head coach JOHN FOX. “Once you get into the dance, they can't kick you out, so what we do with it will be determined next weekend.”
