The refs had it covered when they gave a Superbowl to Pittsburg instead of Dallas in the 70's, and they made sure to screw Dallas out of their third consecutive Superbowl in the '95 NFC championship game. As a CB for the Niners, Neon Deion slapped both of Michael Irvin's arms out of the way of a pass, killing the Cowboy's comeback (no call). I was all for the Colts winning it all this year, unless they met my Cowboys (who would have been lucky to be there) in the big one. The refs and the Steelers tried to hand that game to the Colts on a platter, and they did not deserve to win that way. The Colts earned their wins in the regular season.

You must have been drinking. It was Manning who was given a pass on the INT that would have ended the game earlier. The Steelers showed up to play and the Colts did not.

I am glad they lost after I saw Manning's classless interview after the game deriding his line. Suck it up whiner you lost 14-2 does not guarantee anytihng if you forget to play every game after the regular season.

Just as the PATS gots screwed on the interference call which I think locked the game for the Broncos.

All in all it was the worst year of officiating I have seen in a long time.

of course, you would also be able to thank Barry Switzer for getting a 15 yd personal foul call which killed ANOTHER Dallas drive in that game.....
