Par l'horloge du football qu'il est quelque part au milieu de l'histoire ancienne de l'année dernière, la plupart par le calendrier Anyone's qu'elle était il ya près de neuf mois, et dans toutes les mémoires, mais un peu d'oublier, le toucher des roues de sens sur 25 Janvier degré la nuit de la poudrerie et les os des râles.But in the Steelers locker room, especially in those pockets where people who play pass defense for a living tend to station themselves, they remember it like iwas Oh yeah," said safety Ryan Clark as the Steelers prepared for tonight's haunting by the San Diego Chargers. "It was a post. A great throw and a great catch.

t was Vincent Jackson, 6-5 and 230 pounds, bolting down the middle on Pittsburgh's first defensive series of the playoffs, the fourth play of that AFC Division round game, and Philip (his back to the) Rivers had just executed a standard play fake to Darren Sproles, who curled left out of the Chargers backfield at the Steelers' 41. Downfield, Taylor was matching Jackson strideRivers' quick-slung delivery was, as Clark said, simply great, and Jackson's catch even greater. In the endzone, Jackson seemed to pass the ball to himself, taking it from his left hand, around Taylor's, and cradling it in his right as he fell to the wet grass. Taylor turned 180 degrees behind the end line and signaled no catch, because it couldn't have been.

The Chargers led 7-0, and even though the Steelers would score 28 of the game's next 31 points and go on to win the game and ultimately the Super Bowl, and even though Jackson would catch only one more ball that night for just eight yards, his return tonight carries all kinds of portentous indicators.He has a chance to become the first San Diego receiver in 27 years -- going back to Wes Chandler -- to string together three consecutive 100-yard plus performances, having just ripped Baltimore for 141 and Miami for 120, when he averaged 24 yards per catch. He and Rivers have the clear capability of throwing the Steelers into a 1-3 ditch.
