PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh’s dominating defense beat the Baltimore Ravens 23-14 in the AFC championship on Sunday and put the Steelers back in the Super Bowl.
Santonio Holmes scored on an electrifying 65-yard catch-and-run in the first half, and hard-hitting safety Troy Polamalu returned an interception 40 yards for a clinching TD with 4:24 remaining for the Steelers (14-4).
Pittsburgh earned a matchup with the NFC champion Arizona Cardinals in two weeks in Tampa, where they will meet in the championship game.
Jeff Reed kicked three field goals for the Steelers, who will be seeking their sixth Super Bowl title.

The way the Ravens secondary was banged up I could have thrown for 300+ yards.
Now that was a hard hitting football game.
GO CARDINALS!!!!
Here come all of the Cleveland clown fans out of the sewers; since when has ANYONE in this part of the country been a Cardinal fan? Answ: The same amt. of them that were seahawk fans in '05
