Just a few thought from attending the game
--Whatever the thermometer said didn't do it justice. It was brutally cold. My water bottle froze almost solid while I was away at halftime. It was also much windier than it appeared, the open end makes the wind swirl through the place.
--If you ever go to a Steeler game, go with the Legends Club tickets. Heated tent for tailgating with tons of flat screens, decent food and former Steelers hanging out. I talked for a good while with Mel Blount and his family. It's great to see someone use there fame for good and I wish the NFL publicized stories like his more often.
--Owens' TD was right in front of me and to be honest, that ball should have been picked off also.
--Witten was open more times than I can count, they were rolling Clark over Owens and Polumalu was out of position more times than not or he beat a LB. It looked like Witten slipped on the INT TD and there was some sort of miscommunication on the late 4th down play because he was open for a big gain on the seam but Romo appeared to think he was going to squat.
--Someone called the 4th down play the Steelers ran on the goal line stand. I don't know who but I heard someone yell where it was going before the snap.
--The Cowboys have the worst kick return blocking I've ever seen at any level. Sitting in the end zone, you usually see holes open and close but nothing ever opened. A few players looked like they were afraid of contact.
--Henry really struggled at safety. He was burnt badly a few times but Roethlisberger didn't see his man.
--I don't know how there wasn't a penalty on the player that roughed up Jones on the muffed punt.
-- Phillips wasted that first challenge so he couldn't challenge a non-catch by Washington on their long drive.
