I watched much of the Green Bay at Pittsburgh and thought the refs did a good job.

I didnt watch that whole game but on that last drive i thought the refs had bet the steelers.

I thought the Pack made a mistake by not rushing as many people as they had been doing. Rothlesburger had time to make a sandwich, read the paper and then find his target. Only thing that cost the Packers was their own play
