NFL Playoffs 2017: Championship Sunday preview

From the article:

"Firstly, several ex-Steelers (namely WR Hines Ward and current OLB James Harrison) have been vocal about the involvement of the Patriots’ Spygate scandal in two AFC Championship Games (2001, 2004) in which the Patriots beat the Steelers."

How hard would it have been for Bedard to clarify that filming from the sidelines wasn't banned until 2006. SMH.

I like how he leads with Pats "cheating" scandals and not bringing up the times the Steelers actually cheated, like the time Tomlin interfered with a kick return by wandering onto the field of play.

And then he goes on to say the Pats were "torched" by the Seahawks when they only lost by a TD and extra point.

Cowher also explained that “what happened when we lost [the 2004 AFC title game] is they outplayed us, and it has nothing to do with stealing signals, or cheating, or anything else. They were a better football team on that day.”

The Jaw tells it like it is. I've always had respect for him when he said this.
