Hines Ward caught five passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's victory over Seattle in Super Bowl XL on Feb.

Broncos president John Elway challenged Tim Tebow to let it rip last week. Likewise, the Steelers essentially dared Tebow to throw the ball.

Consider the trigger pulled, says Don Banks.

The magic is back. Tim Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime as the Broncos eliminated the Steelers 29-23 in a thriller.

The Broncos backed into the playoffs, losing three straight. Can Tim Tebow and Co. end their slump or will the Steelers take a step toward defending their AFC crown?

Pittsburgh is leading 3-0.

One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

Browns quarterback Colt McCoy has not been cleared medically to practice for Sunday's game against the Steelers, meaning his season is most likely over.

The 49ers' prime time return was marred by two power outages. But they shined brightly where it mattered, delivering a statement as they dropped the Steelers 20-3, says Ann Killion.

Anyone still doubting the 49ers? They overcame two power outages and a slow start to dump the Steelers 20-3 and keep pace with the Saints in the chase for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.

The 49ers have already secured a playoff spot. So have the Steelers. But there's plenty on the line in San Francisco as both teams try to boost their hopes of a first-round bye.

S.F. leads 6-0.
