StoryLine: The Jets are now 4-1 in the postseason in the Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez era. This team has been a work in progress over the last five years and is now built to win a Super Bowl. Credit goes to CEO Woody Johnson, bringing in major players such as GM Mike Tannenbaum who took some calculated risks and built a team with a great mix of young and veteran talent.
The calculated risks paid off thanks to the new regime/excellent Jets' coaching staff that was put in place to lead them... and Gang Green now finds themself in the AFC Championship for the second consecutive year.
StatLine: With Jets' victory last week in Foxborough, QB Mark Sanchez tied QB Ben Roethlisberger's record for most postseason road wins (four). He will be looking to break the record on Sunday.
StatLine (II): Jets are the first team since Tennessee Titans in 2002 to beat Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in back-to-back weeks.
StatLine (III): Steelers are the only No. 6 team that has won a Super Bowl (2005). Jets are the No. 6 seed, looking to be the second team to do so.
