Lolley's Kickoff: Steelers, Roethlisberger want to keep momentum rolling against Bears

There doesn't figure to be any snow fall for this one, but the Steelers can only hope that a matchup against the Bears at Heinz Field has the same effect one did against them in 2005.

A struggling team that had rolled to a division title the previous year by winning 14 consecutive games to go 15-1 with a rookie quarterback, only to be ousted from the playoffs as a favorite in the AFC Championship by the Patriots.

The 2005 Steelers had lost to the Bengals the previous week to fall to 7-5 and out of the AFC playoff race with four games to go.
