<p>It&#8217;s been a tough offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they&#8217;ve watched several key starters depart via free agency. They&#8217;ve already lost their leading receiver in Mike Wallace to the Miami Dolphins, and their third-leading receiver in tight end Heath Miller is coming off a torn ACL, and it&#8217;s unclear if he&#8217;ll be ready for the start of the 2013 season.</p>
<p>Well, their first big break has come, as they&#8217;ve opted to keep receiver Emmanuel Sanders:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p>Steelers have opted to match the $2.5M offer sheet the Pats extended to Emmanuel Sanders, keeping the WR</p>
<p>— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/323560725903724545">April 14, 2013</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><br />
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had been lobbying coach Mike Tomlin to match the one-year, $2.5 million offer sheet that the Patriots, and that may have been hat finally pushed them to keep the fourth-year receiver out of SMU.</p>
<p>Last year, Sanders caught a career-high 44 passes, doubling his production from the previous season. He was also second on the team in punt returns (9 for 93 yards).</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>AFC Championship:</strong> <strong>Baltimore Ravens (10-6) at New England Patriots (12-4), 6:30 p.m. EST</strong></span></p>
<p>The New England Patriots will have to try and win their fourth Super Bowl under head coach Bill Belichick in a 2012 AFC Championship rematch against the Baltimore Ravens, but they&#8217;ll be missing a significant piece this time around. The Pats averaged 35 points and 433 yards per game in 11 games with All-Pro TE <strong><a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GronRo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-stripehype.com" target="_blank">Rob Gronkowski</a></strong> this season versus 34 points and 417 yards per in five games without him. Only once in the 42 previous seasons since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 has a conference championship matchup and site been the same in back-to-back years (Houston at Pittsburgh, 1978, 1979.)</p>
<p>The Baltimore Ravens are looking to advance to their first Super Bowl since 2001, <strong><a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LewiRa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-stripehype.com" target="_blank">Ray Lewis</a></strong>&#8216; fifth season in the NFL. It could be the last time we see Lewis on an NFL field after he announced he would retire this offseason, but after scoring a miracle win on Saturday vs. the Denver Broncos, he may be destined to ride out into the sunset as a champion.</p>
