Here they go, indeed. The Pittsburgh Steelers, proud as they once were, are almost back.

And I know that not because they’re back in the playoffs for the first time in three years, not because it was the defense that pushed them through by crunching the Chiefs, 20-12 (http://www.steelers.com/video-and-audio/videos/HIGHLIGHTS-Steelers-vs-Chiefs/4ed48670-7c52-4ab8-a712-a293c1d08634), not because that defense as “attacking instead of guessing” in the words of Jason Worilds, not even because that defense was fueled by a fully reborn James Harrison, the facet that undoubtedly offered the most familiar feeling of all on this sunny winter’s Sunday at Heinz Field.

No, I know this because they still want another piece of the Bengals...........

And man alive, there needs to be a special mention for Harrison and his seven tackles, 1.5 sacks, two other tackles for losses and two quarterback hurries. He’s 36 going on 26.
“It’s not me. It’s God. I’m old and slow,” Harrison said with no trace of a smile. “God’s driving the bus, and I’m just riding.”


James is special player.....and I am forever grateful he came back and that he is showing the young guys what it looks like when you give 110%.

God I love Harrison! If anybody has truly embodied a Pittsburgh Steeler in the modern era, it's James Harrison.

Deebo!

I'm glad we won more with defense yesterday. Yeah, they had the ball more than we did but the defense will be needed now! And Deebo will lead the way.

Looks like Tomlin challenged them to see who would have the better game and the team believed they had something to play for.

Tomlin and the coaches deserve credit, though I’ll bet it’s only grudgingly given, if at all.



This gave me a chuckle.
