NFL Football News :: Pittsburgh Steelers beat Baltimore 23-14 to win AFC Championship

Posted on 2009-01-18 by Gooner

The Steelers beat the Ravens with crunching defence and a steady Ben Roethlisberger, marching into the Super Bowl behind a defense that brought back memories of their storied Steel Curtain.

The Steelers harassed rookie Joe Flacco all game long. Normally unflappable, he looked lost at times and finished 13-for-30 for 141 yards and three costly interceptions.

Roethlisberger was a steady 16-of-33 for 255 yards, and most importantly, no interceptions, showing how much experience can matter in a game so big.

Pittsburgh ended its AFC championship game home-field jinx by beating Baltimore 23-14 on Sunday as a 4th quarter interception by Troy Polamalu ended any chance the Ravens had for a comeback as he ran back a 40-yard return for a touchdown.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will meet the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl in two weeks in Tampa, Florida.
