With the exception of last week’s relatively smooth-sailing Wildcard victory over the Dolphins, during which the most contentious discussing in the week that followed was why the Pittsburgh Steelers had left quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a game in which there were fewer than six minutes to play with an 18-point lead, this is a team that has not allowed themselves to win easy in the past month.
While the Steelers’ 18-16 win over the Chiefs in last night’s Divisional Round game was not of the comeback variety, there were times when it felt like it, and the whole thing got awfully hairy in the final five minutes of the game.
