Key Stat

[vmax]

9-18 on 3rd down.

This lead to winning time of possession 34:20 to 25:20....73 plays to 57.

 

20 rushing plays.

Won the turnover battle 2-0.

 

They still tried real hard to lose with 12 penalties for 121 yards.

Clean that up and this game isn't close.

 

The Refs tried hard to get the Steelers a win because Aiken wasn't down, it was a cheap shot hit at Malletts knees and there was a late hit out of bounds. Ignored.

50% third down success will win the game everyday. I agree, that was a cheap shot on Mallet. Should have been called and even the TV announcers agreed.
