The Pittsburgh Steelers have advanced to their 4th AFC Championship game in 10 seasons after defeating the San Diego Chargers 35-24.

The Steelers relied heavily on Willie Parker and their running game to control the clock and keep the Chargers high-powered offense off the field.

“We were standing on the sideline and it was like, ‘We were in for one play in the quarter and it was an interception,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “There was a little bit of disbelief. … You can’t call it a fluke, those guys made plays, but that was crazy.”

Old school Steelers football is alive and well.

“We knew we could do that,” Holmes said. “That’s Steelers football, run the ball. Pound them down, once we get them down we can do whatever we want to do with them.”

The Steelers will fave the Ravens in the AFC Championship game which is guaranteed to be a defensive slugfest.
