Here are my gut reactions after the Pittsburgh Steelers dominate, well-rounded win at home against a competitive New York Giants team. After their four game skid the Steelers are rounding into playoff form in multiple facets of the game.
The biggest reaction I had to Sunday’s match-up was that I was forced to bear witness to another game where the Steelers severely lost the penalty battle. These were legitimate infractions that killed field position and offensive momentum. Perhaps no penalty was bigger than the illegal block by Artie Burns on Sean Davis’ first interception of the season.
