1) "Since the current playoff structure was adopted in 1990, home teams in the divisionals are 49-11. In all professional sports, no subset of teams enjoys the advantage known by NFL home teams in the divisionals round. Usually they are the best teams to begin with. They're playing at home. And they just finished a bye week, relaxing in hot tubs as their opponents were out in the cold being pounded." - Gregg Easterbrook

2) 15-25 for 245 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT and a 102.9 rating.

3) The Steelers, as usual, are probably doomed if they are forced to rely on their passing game. There is a reason why they have far-and-away the NFL's most run-reliant play-calling. Because that's how their offense works.

4) Any team's chances improve if they can get the running game going.

5) Probably the Steelers' best bet.
