December 15, 200817 yr I would think they would go for it. That would've been a tough decision to make. It would've been interesting to see what they did.
December 15, 200817 yr There is no doubt that the Steelers would have kicked the FG and take the 3 points. With the way both defenses were playing, both teams should have had confidence in their D to get at least 1 stop in OT...
December 15, 200817 yr Do you have a link to the rule book? Page 776 of the rules digest in the NFL fact book reads: "A player with the ball in his possession scores a touchdown when the ball is on, above or over the goal line." From the article on ESPN.... ...
December 15, 200817 yr The Steelers also got a bogus first down on an earlier spot that would have made it a 4th down. The officials were bad on the reviews. After one of the plays Harbaugh asked "why even have reviews"?

After one of the plays Harbaugh asked "why even have reviews"? Wow that was straight up awful on the officials part. Baltimore definently got robbed on that one.
December 15, 200817 yr I found myself cheering for the Steelers and I don't think I like it.. I am guessing a Bengal fan? :lol:
December 15, 200817 yr They way the ref announced after the review he never even mentioned the ball crossing the plane, he just said the receiver had possession with 2 feet in the endzone so it was a touchdown.
