The AFC championship game on Sunday might be a great matchup between two of the NFL's best teams, but there isn't a lot of bad blood between the Steelers and the New York Jets. You wouldn't call it a heated rivalry.

That game was in Cleveland.

It's going to be damn cold, but at least they won't have to worry about the wind.
