Picture this: a pair of No. 6 seeds in the Super Bowl.

The New York Jets and Green Bay Packers sure like that scenario, and it's impossible to ignore them after this weekend's divisional playoff games.

The Jets (13-5), who have never won more games in their half-century of existence, went into New England and handed the league's top regular-season team a 28-21 defeat Sunday. They now have knocked off Peyton Manning's Colts and Tom Brady's Patriots in successive weeks.

Their reward is a date with the second-seeded Steelers (13-4) in Pittsburgh next Sunday night, New York's second straight trip to the AFC championship game. The Steelers won their blood feud matchup with Baltimore 31-24 on Saturday.

“We're not afraid of anybody,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said after Mark Sanchez threw for three touchdowns against New England. “Maybe people take it the wrong way. We don't badmouth an opponent, but we don't fear anybody.”

Nor, apparently, do the Packers (12-6). They routed the NFC's top seed, the Atlanta Falcons, 48-21 on Saturday night, and will head to Chicago for the conference title game against their historic rivals. The Bears (12-5) whipped Seattle 35-24 to set up the 182nd meeting in the NFL's longest series, but the first for an NFC championship.

At Pittsburgh, 6:30 p.m. ESTIt's a rematch of a wild Dec. 19 game won by the Jets 22-17 at Heinz Field.Steelers star safety Troy Polamalu missed that and he's a huge playmaker. He might be needed more than ever because the Jets are more balanced that at any time under Ryan. And they have won four of their five playoff road games under the bombastic coach, the latest their stunner at Foxborough, where the Jets fell 45-3 on Dec. 6.“We knew we'd have to beat those kind of opponents, got to get a team that can beat New England, beat Indianapolis at their places, and beat Pittsburgh, hopefully,” Ryan said.New York has been efficient on the ground, but no one rushes very well against the Steelers. Baltimore managed only 35 yards rushing on Saturday.So the game could wind up in the hands and on the arms of the quarterbacks. Sanchez, a second-year pro who is 4-1 in the postseason, just might match up well with Roethlisberger, who has won two Super Bowls and showed against the Ravens how clutch he can be.The Jets never had won in Pittsburgh before that December game, and the Steelers are well-versed in AFC title matchups, making their fifth trip since 2001.“You like to play teams that you lose to,” Roethlisberger said.

At Chicago, 3 p.m. ESTChicago and Green Bay have been going at it for 90 years, but, amazingly enough, this will be only the second time they’ve faced each other in a playoff.Back in 1941, just days after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and a quarter-century before there was a Super Bowl, the George Halas-coached Bears beat the Packers 33-14 at Wrigley Field for the Western Division title. The playoff was needed after both went 10-1 during the regular season.Chicago went on to beat the New York Giants for one of its nine NFL titles. But the Bears haven’t won it all since shuffling to the Super Bowl championship after the 1985 season with Mike Singletary, Walter Payton & Co.Green Bay has won a record 12 NFL titles.
