The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend in the AFC Playoffs. Here are three key players who’ll help them advance.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to advance to their second-straight AFC Championship Game by beating the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend. No one ever thought a team like the Jags would’ve been this far into the postseason before the year started, but that’s exactly what makes the NFL so great.

Everyone loves parody and unpredictability, but if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that Pittsburgh is ready for whatever Jacksonville throws at them on Sunday afternoon.

Remember, these two squads met back in early-October, where the Jags dominated the Steelers 30-9. Seeing Pittsburgh getting blown out, especially at home, is something we don’t see all that often. This franchise takes pride in their ability to defend their home turf, which won’t bode well for the Jags in the AFC Divisional Round.

Unless your name is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, you won’t experience beating the Steelers twice in one season. I admire the improvement from Jacksonville this year, but I don’t see them winning at Heinz Field again.

With that said, take a look at three Steelers who are the biggest keys to helping the black and gold make it back to their conference championship.
