When teams get a shot at going to the Super Bowl it is very important that they take advantage of the opportunity as sometimes it is a long time between sips shall we say. Back in Super Bowl XV11 in 1983 the Dolphins lost to the Redskins and their starting quarterback was no-name David Woodley. He was 4-14 for a pathetic 81 yards of net passing and needless to say they lost.
In 1985 Super Bowl X1X Dan Marino barely legal drinking age, took his explosive offensive machine to the big game for what was to be the first of many experiences. It ended up being his last and they were crushed 38-16 by San Francisco. While Marino would set all kinds of records and end up in the Hall of Fame, Marino never made it back to the dance.
This Sunday Steelers coach Bill Cowher will try and advance to Detroit with a victory over the Broncos and while he has won many games with Pittsburgh, the last Super Bowl he coached in was 1995 and Cowher, whose team is the first No. 6 seed to reach a league championship game, is trying to become the first since the 1985 Patriots to win three road games to reach the Super Bowl.
Speaking of the Broncos they won back to back titles in 1998 and 1999 and then John Elway decided to go mountain climbing. Since then they have struggled to find the right formula and they just might do it with underrated Jake Plummer at the helm.
The Steelers put constant pressure on Manning and sacked him five times. In the first two rounds, Pittsburgh has held the AFC's top scoring teams, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, to 17 and 18 points, but Plummer is not a statue like Plummer, so don’t expect the same result.
Sunday's victory gave Pittsburgh five consecutive victories over Indianapolis in the postseason, but the Steelers will be facing a Denver club that has won 11 in a row at Invesco Field at Mile High, is 4-0 in AFC title games at home and is coming off a 27-13 victory over two-time defending champion New England last week.
The Steelers, meanwhile, are 1-4 in league championship games under Cowher, and they'll face a Denver team that's equally motivated to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1998.
Denver has won three of the five postseason matchups with Pittsburgh and two of the three playoff meetings at Mile High. The Broncos won the last meeting 24-21 at Denver in the AFC title game on Jan. 11, 1998.
