The Jets aren't the only ones who are getting wildly excited for tonight's game—the Steelers, who are in pursuit of their seventh Lombardi Trophy, and their fans are also engaging in their own forms of pre-game trash talk and intimidation. The Steelers defense, who were the NFL's top-ranked d-line this season, plan to be sleeveless tonight at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. The weather forecast calls for a game-time temperature around 10 degrees with a wind chill that'll make it feel like 2 degrees. “No sleeves all the time, man,” said Steelers free safety Ryan Clark, calling long sleeves under the uniform “a sign of weakness.” Steelers super fan and friend-of-Gothamist Snoop Dogg went one further, tweeting, "Steelers gone beat jets $1000 bet to whoever wantit." A slightly more interesting bet than trading towels or snacks.
