Well, that didn’t go anywhere near as planned.
Right from the start Tom Brady and the New England Patriots simply dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game Sunday evening, rolling to a 36-17 win, clinching a spot in their ninth Super Bowl in franchise history.

For the most part, I thought Ben Roethlisberger was terrific when the Steelers absolutely needed him to be as Roethlisberger threw for 314 yards and a touchdown, but did throw one costly interception in the second half on a deep ball that was well underthrow.
