It will be a homecoming for Jets' wide receiver Santonio Holmes at Heinz Field on Sunday, with cheers and boos from the crowd. But what type of reaction will he get from the Steelers (10-3)? Nonetheless, Holmes has been the difference maker for the Jets (9-4) as he was responsible for three of New York's wins and the maturation of quarterback Marc Sanchez as his most reliable, veteran receiver. But in their last two weeks, the Jets had their doors blown-off by the Patriots and Dolphins. However, if Holmes would have caught the touchdown pass that was in his hands late in their game against Miami last Sunday, he would have been responsible for four wins.

While the Jets has landed back to Earth after flying high in the atmosphere, the Steelers continues to stay grounded in their belief of a winning formula, being physical and playing smart as winners of four straight. The Steelers look to build upon win-after-win to secure the second-seed of the AFC playoff bracket and hold off their divisional rival, the Baltimore Ravens who are lurking behind them in hopes of regaining the AFC North lead if Pittsburgh slips.
