	<description>&lt;p&gt;   Running low on AFC team themed Google images...  Recently, I was asked why I confined this monthly piece to the AFC. The rationale: Unless we happen to be playing them on a given Sunday, NFC teams do not matter to the Steelers . And the playoff landscape of the NFC certainly doesn&#39;t.
