Mark Sanchez's Last Stand - Why the Steelers will destroy the Jets

Ladies and gentlemen, you can calm down... the national nightmare will soon be over.  The Jets', and more importantly quarterback Mark Sanchez's, season will finally come to an end Sunday at Heinz Field.  I know you've heard similar false reports like this in recent weeks, but the Steelers are going to triumph Sunday and it's not going to be close.

How can you believe such a claim?  I've done the research, I've looked at the facts, and I may have spoken to the devil, and I can explain to you why it's so wrong that the Jets have made it this far, and why they can't beat the Steelers at Heinz Field this Sunday.

Ravens Vs Steelers 3 - All Defense All The Time.

Seahawks vs Bears Preview
Packers vs Falcons Preview
Jets vs Patriots Preview

The first two Ravens-Steelers games were defensive struggles.  17-14 and 13-10 games aren't exactly common in today's NFL where the rules clearly favor the offense.  These teams play similar brands of football and both defenses believe in never giving an inch which usually makes for a close game.  The prior two meetings came down to go-ahead touchdowns scored inside the last three minutes of the game and as you would expect with these two teams, both touchdowns came after the offense was given great field position by the defense.  Thinking about that, rather than try to predict which offensive players are going to make the extraordinary plays required to move the ball against the other defense I'm going to attempt to look at the defense's performances and try and foresee which defense will come up with the big play.  I'm going to analyze the big defensive plays from their last meeting (Charlie Batch started the first meeting) and figure out if the opposing offense can do something to stop similar results from occurring again.
