PITTSBURGH: The Pittsburgh Steelers recovered from a 14-point halftime deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 31-24 in an AFC divisional playoff game Saturday. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger found rookie Antonio Brown with a a 58-yard pass play and Rashard Mendenhall scored from the 2-yard line with 1:33 remaining to move Pittsburgh to their fifth AFC championship game in 10 seasons next Sunday – at New England if the Patriots beat the New York Jets on Sunday, in Pittsburgh if the Jets win – where they will be playing to reach the Super Bowl for third time in six seasons. The Steelers (13-4) were trailing 21-7 at halftime after turnovers created two Ravens touchdowns. But they came back with the help of three Baltimore turnovers during one of most miserable third quarters in Ravens history. Packers 48, Falcons 21: In Atlanta, Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Green Bay Packers to their second straight postseason road victory with a stunning 48-21 rout of the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons. The Packers (12-6) will have to win one more on the road to complete their improbable run from sixth seed to the Super Bowl, but nothing looks out of the question the way Rodgers is playing. He'll lead Green Bay into the NFC championship game at either Chicago or Seattle next weekend. Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards, more than Brett Favre – who he replaced in Green Bay – ever threw for in a playoff game.
