Jets vs. Steelers: Steelers Score TD On Opening Drive, Lead 7-0

The Pittsburgh Steelers have drawn first blood in their matchup with the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game, as they got a one-yard touchdown run from Rashard Mendenhall just a few moments ago to make it 7-0.

The Pittsburgh drive went for 66 yards, and ate up over nine minutes on the clock.

However, there may end up being a catch, as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took a knee to his left thigh that has him clearly favoring his left leg. We shall see if it hinders him at all for the remainder of the game.

Nevertheless, this is a much better start for the Steelers than the first time they played the Jets, when Brad Smith took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. The Steelers never really recovered the rest of the way.

Packers Vs. Bears Score: B.J. Raji And Caleb Hanie Trade Touchdowns, Green Bay Up 21-14 video

Gigantic Green Bay Packers DT B.J. Raji, listed at 337 pounds that we know of, intercepted Chicago Bears third-string QB Caleb Hanie. Darting 18 yards into the end zone, sort of fumbling the ball at the goal line, and breaking out a ravishing hip swivel, Raji appeared to have punched the Packers’ ticket to Arlington, but you can never count out Hanie, because you have never heard of him.

It’s the first career touchdown for Raji and the first postseason interception for Hanie.



The Bears responded by operating in a no-huddle, and with under five minutes to go Hanie had the ball moving. The score came on a 35-yard touchdown pass to Earl Bennett, and Chicago isn’t quite out of it yet. Hanie now has 103 yards in well under a quarter of football, making him Chicago's leading passer on the day.
