AFC Championship: Patriots crush Steelers, 36-17, will face Falcons in Super Bowl

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quarterback Tom Brady led the New England Patriots back to the Super Bowl with 36-17 rout Sunday of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game.

Brady picked apart the Steelers, often hitting wide open receivers who found plenty of room to move in Pittsburgh's zone defense.

Brady improved to 5-0 at home against Pittsburgh.

The Atlanta Falcons await the Patriots in Houston in the Super Bowl in two weeks.

Brady is 4-0 against Atlanta, completing 67 percent of his passes for 1,193 yards and nine touchdowns against just one interception.
