It was nice watching the Steelers win last night. The big trophy is in Pittsburgh where it belongs. The Steelers now have five Super Bowl wins and only one loss, as good as any team in NFL history and better than most. It gives me a great feeling and warms my heart. Steeler fans are celebrating and joyful everywhere.
All the moaning and whining in the world can't take the joy of winning away from Steeler fans. We won, they lost. End of story.
It was destiny. Because, it's interesting to note how close the Steelers were to not even making the playoffs.
On November 13, the Kansas City Chiefs (5-3 then, 10-6 at season's end) put in what proved to be their worst performance of the season. At home (Arrowhead Stadium), the Chiefs lost 14-3 to the hapless Buffalo Bills (3-5, 5-11).
If that game had turned out as it "should" have, the Steelers (11-5) would have been at home watching the playoffs and Super Bowl XL.
It seems the Steelers were destined to win one for the thumb.
