The only reason they were even in it is because Ben made three of the absolutely best throws I’ve ever seen him making in his entire career against tight coverage. Smith and Bouye were draped on both Bell and Brown, respectively, but the throw and catch were just better. Throws like that are indefensible. And also the brain dead decision not to let Bryant get behind him at the end of the half by Gibson.I thought the Steelers were going to come back in the second half. They probably would have if it weren't for coaching malpractice (e.g. why on Earth do you call for toss sweep plays on 4th and inches when you have a QB the size of Big Ben for a sneak?).
Still, I think it's extraordinary that a young team like the Jags were able to beat the Steelers on the road in the playoffs and that they can't be taken lightly.
