Champs!

WOW. The most enjoyable Steelers football game I've seen in 26 years. All hail the Steelers' coaches and players for a brilliant gameplan and nearly flawless execution today. Ben was en fuego, going 21 for 29 for 275 yards, 3 TDs and 0 turnovers. The defense pistol-whipped Plummer and his seemingly overrated squad. As predicted, Jake imploded and gave it up to the tune of 2 INTs and 2 fumbles lost.

The whoop-ass has generated lots of good quotes and commentary:

The AP has the Broncos as "outschemed, outplayed and pushed around all day."

Cris Carter on the Steelers:

"It's probably the most remarkable run of any playoff team ever, having beaten a division rival in Cincinnati, manhandled the Super Bowl favorite in Indianapolis and dominated the Broncos in Denver."
Ike Taylor admits 10 dropped INTs this season, but knew he'd catch one in the postseason.

For the Casey Hampton:Hungry Hippo analogy and more funny stuff, check out Ryan's blog.

The Super Bowl line opens with the Steelers being 3.5 to 4 point favorites.
