The AFC's Final Four

In the crazy AFC who is most suitable to advance to the Super Bowl and represent well. Of the four teams three of them are very similar and the fourth may not be the best of the four by may be playing the best of all of them at the right time.

Tennessee Titans: The Titans are maybe the least talented team of the four ON PAPER. However they run the ball very good and they play excellent defense especially up front. They rank 21st in total offense with just over 313 yds/gm, that is mostly due to theirgame manager style passing game that ranks 27 with only 176.2 yds/gm.

On the flip side theirover achieving rush offense ranks seventh with over 137 yds/gm. LenDale White has just under 800 yds and 15 tds spelling rookie sensation Chris Johnson who has 1228 yds and nine tds averaging just under five yds/car. The biggest asset to this team on the field is their defense mostly their defensive line. Albert Haynsworth is the biggest reason for this teams success if you have to pick one reason.

This defense ranks seventh in the league with under 300 yds per game. A big reason they rank so high is the play of theird-line, more times than not the Titans only pressure with four guys leaving seven guys to drop back and defend the pass. Haynesworth is the biggest reason because every time hesout there the opposing team is forced to use at least two guys sometimes three guys to block him and do the math if it takes two guys to block him everyone else gets one on one.

Finally, the biggest reason for this teams success on or off the field is simple consistency at the head coach position. Jeff Fisher is the longest tenured head coach in the league at 14 years plus. He will always have his team ready to go and they can and will compete with any team in the NFL. Key Victories: Ten def Balt 13-10, Ten def Indy 31-21, Ten def Pitt 31- 14. However they have not played any of the remaining NFC teams.

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers might have fielded the best defense in NFL history this season. This defense only allowed one team this year to surpass 300 total yards in a game this season and they they played arguably the toughest schedule in the league this year. They rank first in points, total yards and passing yds/gm and second in rush yds/gm.

They only allow 13.9 pts/gm and 237 yds/gm that is nothing short of amazing. On the other hand this Steeler offense does nothing more than keep teamsin games that they should have dominated. They are only 22nd in total yards on offense just barely breaking the 300 yd mark themselves. The offensive line cant block ANYBODY and they finishe 23 in the league with only 105.6 yds/gm and a 3.7 yds/car average, that does not sound like steeler football to me.

The passing game is not much better considering they are not considered to be a game manager style and they are expected to win games for the team. They average just over 200 yds/gm. Big Ben Roethlisberger is considered to be an elite quarterback by many people in the football world but he has yet to really prove them right. I know he has a ring but his numbers prove that he is more average than elite.

This season he has 3300 yds 17 tds and 15 ints not all that elite if you ask me. So if this offense can manage to not hurt this team they should be able to beat anybody with that amazing defense. Key Victories:
