Bill Belichick knew how to break the Steelers’ hearts. Mine, at least. Twice, the Pittsburgh Steelers hosted the AFC Championship Game, one win shy of a Super Bowl, against the New England Patriots. And twice, the Steelers and their fans left dejected as the Patriots busted out the T-shirts and hats that declared them AFC champs and headed to the big game. Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show Monday, Belichick talked the difficulty of hosting a conference championship game and how the road team has a bigger advantage than fans might think.
“I’m not saying I’d rather play it on the road,” Belichick told the show.
