I know the conventional wisdom is to go for 2 on the road, but I wouldn’t have done it. 

Kick it Coach!

I was glad to see the Steelers putting in the work today, that was good for Cincy. 

To me, if you go for 2 in that situation, you are saying you think the other team is better than you and you have to take that risk to get the win.

Harbaugh said the decision was made in part because of injuries to his defensive backs.  Reasonable, but I still kick it.

Thanks for the info. That tells me Harbaugh thought the Steelers were better. It was due to injuries, but better. In that case I get why he went for 2.

I think at that point, the Steelers had scored on 3 straight possessions.  I'm sure that played into it.  Or maybe he had dinner reservations.
