A Letter From the Editor: The day some perspective was gained with the Pittsburgh Steelers

I can still remember the day clearly.

January 8th, 2012

It was the culmination of the 2011 regular season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves at Mile High to play the Denver Broncos in the AFC Wild Card game. The Steelers were heavily favored over Tim Tebow and the Broncos, but the game was just odd. Sloppy at times, but it ended up heading to overtime.

The NFL had just altered their overtime rules prior to that season. It was the first time everyone wondered if, despite losing the coin toss, would the Steelers get a chance to win, or extend, the game?
