The 2004 AFC Championship Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots is marred in controversy. At least on the Steelers’ end of things. With accusations about the Patriots stealing the Steelers’ signals and knowing their play calls, some players still feel cheated out of a Super Bowl appearance.
