…Steelers found a way to win under the worst conditions. Yesterday’s classic cold rain AFC North match-up finale once again held season-ending consequences for the loser, with the winner potentially going on yet another 2-team AFC North playoff offering. Still waiting for the media pundits to remark how the division always seems to be the one sending 2 teams to the playoffs.
It was a pre-playoff game all the way – a defensive struggle punctuated with just enough offense to get the job done on the Pittsburgh side. I’d love to see Ben come into the league and go out with a Super Bowl victory. That would be one for the record books even Brady can’t match.
Then last night, in the weirdest elimination scheme anyone can remember, San Diego and Oakland almost played to a tie, eliminating the Steelers. A field goal with 2 seconds left in OT set the playoff stage at the very end of the last game of the season.
