The Jets enter Sunday's game after posting back-to-back road upsets against the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Can they overcome the odds again and win on Sunday? If these NY Jets do win the game, it will be their first Super Bowl appearance since Super Bowl III (1969).
Since their Wild Card game against the Colts's the Jets' defense has had no fear, though the Colt's were undermannned, the Jets' defense still looked impressive, holding the Colts to 16 points and one catch by Reggie Wayne. The Jets' offense, 2 rushing touchdowns by LaDainian Tomlinson (Shonn Greene added 70 yds), looked efficient.
Defensively, the Jets held the Colts to 1 touchdown (3 fiield goals made); Reggie Wayne caught one ball for the day and the Jet's defense held the Colts to uder 100 yards rushing. Peyton manning had 225 yards in the air but only threw for the one touchdown.
The Patriots win was more of a surprise, the Jets won 28-21 as 9-point road underdogs.

The Jets picked-off Tom Brady, who has been all but perfect during the regular season; the Jets sacked Brady 5 times, and not one Patriot ran for more than 50 yards.
Brady threw for 299 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. Mark Sanchez threw for 194 yards, 3 touchdowns, no interceptions.
The Jets will enter Sunday's game again as the underdogs (-3.5); the Steelers enter the game knowing what to expect since this is there fourth AFC Championship in seven years.
The Steelers and Jets met during Week 15, where the Steelers were 4-point favorite, the Jets ended up winning that game 22-17.
Three sacks and a safety by the Jets during the last meeting between these two teams may have been the difference makers, and whichever defense plays well during this game will also decide which team will go onto the Super Bowl.
