Certain Refs are paid to ignore and make calls that influence games to have the desired result the NFL and casinos demand to maximize their profits and viewing audience.
Steelers had all of the momentum and complete control of the game after the onside kick recovery and left the Cowboys confused with no answers after the Steelers tightened up their defense.
They get the ball back with 4 minutes to go trailing 20-17 and Odonnell throws the ball right to Larry Brown.
What happened? There was no receiver anywhere close. He threw it right to the defender.
The Steelers going 3-0 against the Cowboys in the Super Bowl wouldn’t have been a good look for the NFL history books. They really had no choice.
Three years in a row would be VERY suspicious. This year the trophy is in front of the Roman numerals. That tells me something is different. Hence NOT SF v. Baltimore.
