The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers have been on a collision course since midseason in the NFL, when both teams asserted themselves as the best teams in the AFC.
Those two teams are one game away from meeting in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots will have to beat the Tennessee Titans Saturday night to get there, while the Steelers must defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars to punch their ticket to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The Patriots would seem to have the easiest path to the conference title game, as their history of success indicates they are going to beat the Titans.
