Sorta.

You have to question a lot of things about how the Steelers played.

They dropped some key catches, the o-line was giving Maddox absolutely no space, they committed to the running game when it wasn't giving them anything but putting them in 2nd and long or 3rd and long.

Their defence was absolutely shocking, the linebackers were able to stop the run (hats off to them) but couldn't do anything to Couch, he was behind a makeshift o-line for crying out loud. And by the time they clicked that they needed to change to a 4-3 instead of a 3-4 to get any kind of pressure on Couch they were already losing badly.

Also silly penalties/bad calls etc.

Yes Maddox got an INT returned, but hey, the Steelers would not have lost if their defence made crucial stops, that's a fact.
