PITTSBURGH (AP) -Sorry Jacksonville Jaguars, nothing for your bulletin board this week. The Pittsburgh Steelers are making no predictions, promises or guarantees for Sunday's game, one that could prove pivotal in determining the AFC playoffs alignment. And what about Anthony Smith, whose guaranteed win last week proved to be a great motivational tool for the New England Patriots? He was nowhere to be found when the Steelers' locker room was open for interviews Wednesday. Also absent was any of that oh-so-c |
