“A lot of the young guys, they don’t know what it’s like to have that confetti come down on you. They don’t know what it’s like when you have home-field advantage at Heinz Field and the ground is shaking. They don’t know what it’s like when you pull up at night for a playoff game and you just get chills walking into the locker room because of the atmosphere. We can talk about it until we’re blue in the face, but until they get that feeling, they won’t ever know.”

—Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor



That is what the Steelers will play for tonight when the Cincinnati Bengals visit Heinz Field with the AFC North title on the line. Win, and the Steelers get to play host to a playoff game next week at Heinz Field, something they have not done in four years. Lose, and they take the perilous path of attempting to get to a Super Bowl by winning on the road.
