The six-time Super Bowl champions had not qualified for the
postseason since losing a wild-card game to the Denver Broncos
following the 2011 regular season.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger directed the Steelers
(10-5) to their third consecutive win, passing for 220 yards and
a touchdown.
Roethlisberger suffered a right knee injury in the third quarter
while throwing the deciding touchdown pass to wide receiver
Antonio Brown but returned after receiving treatment and did not
miss any playing time.
