PITTSBURGH -- Every Saturday in the team hotel, Steelers players and coaches dig into a red velvet cake with the team logo decorated atop white frosting.

"It's tradition," Brown said.
Former Steelers, including Jerome Bettis, used to serve the cake, and now Brown gets a local bakery to cater it. He does it for road games too, but several players say the cake simply tastes better in Pittsburgh.
"Everything is better at home," Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats said.
Since May, the Steelers have talked openly about wanting home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs.
