Re: 2016 Wild Card Round: #6 Pittsburgh Steelers @ #3 Cincinnati Bengals

The most logical article I've seen on this game.

But let’s say that the NFL had called Shazier and Porter for personal fouls, and the Bengals won the game. What are we talking about today? Maybe we’re talking about how the Steelers play dirty football, something that has been said for years. Maybe we’re talking about how Mike Tomlin so lost control of his team that he had TWO COACHES get personal foul penalties (offensive line coach Mike Munchak had received one earlier). Maybe we’re wondering about Tomlin’s humanity and feelings for his players considering he put a debilitated Ben Roethlisberger into the game barely a minute after it was clear Roethlisberger was much too hurt to play.

The Bengals deserved to lose the game. But so did the Steelers. The referees made the call. They often do in this rare game played nowhere else on earth.
