Pittsburgh: The New Greatest Dynasty in the NFL?

The Dallas Cowboys and the San Fransisco 49ers are said to be the two greatest franchises in the history of the NFL. These sensational teams both have five world titles under their belt and are looking for more. But Pittsburgh, also with five Super Bowl wins, is making a strong run this season and are looking to destroy the Ravens this weekend and emerge with another title. Also, they look to become, questionably, the greatest franchise in the NFL.

The Steelers have already played the Ravens twice this season. In the first game, which was their fourth game of the season, Pittsburgh barely scraped passed the Ravens, 23-20. Many people believe that if it weren't for a loss against the Eagles the prior week, the Steelers would have blown Baltimore out.

The Eagles (who the Steelers may very well play in the Super Bowl) did not have a very promising start. They went on to a 9-6 record in the regular season, looking like an easy target to dispose of in the playoffs (This probably crossed Mike Tomlin's mind once or twice.)

This theory was very off as the Eagles went on to dominate the Vikings in the Wild Card game, and then again went on to shock the Giants.

Next week, the Eagles are going on to play the Cardinals, who are coming of a huge win against the Panthers last week, beating them 33-13

The Steelers need the Cardinals to win next week if they want to stand a chance in the Super Bowl, presuming they beat the Ravens.

Can Big Ben pull it off? Can he lead the Steelers to their sixth world title? Better, this season than next as Ben Roethelisberger is at the prime of his football career. Just last week he showed that he could be useful as a kicker by booting the ball 20 yards down field, putting the Chargers in bad field position. What better time to make his team the greatest franchise in the history of the NFL?

Coming off a surprising win against the Chargers, the Steelers are pumped and ready for anything that might be thrown at them by the Ravens. We'll just have to wait and see if the "Terrible Towel" twirling franchise can break the biggest record in professional football.
