It was brilliant chaos," but frightening, said Molly Hackman, a Pitt freshman from Lititz, Pa.
Within minutes of the game's thrilling conclusion, at least a thousand young people filled several blocks of Forbes in a march eastward through Oakland, ending in a swarm near Bigelow Boulevard.
Police summoned reinforcements because of the heavy crowd and incidents of vandalism. Some students carried street signs and a parking meter that had been broken.
Officers closed the Oakland side of the Birmingham Bridge at about 10:30 to prevent any of the crowd there from crossing the river to the South Side.
If anything, the throngs on East Carson Street were bigger but more orderly. Officers there formed a human barricade near South 26th Street, some of them on horseback and with police dogs, while fans nearby cheered and waved Terrible Towels while shouting "Here we go, Steelers!"
Fans popped open champagne bottles, wrapped their arms around one another and snapped photos in celebration. But soon after 11 p.m., the South Side was relatively quiet.
Seeming to speak for many revelers, Jonathan Warnock, 21, of the South Side, said while walking with his girlfriend: "It was a great game. Anybody who loves football had to have loved that game. It ended the right way."

So would I if I could find some. But this looks like you’re cursing the Steelers to burn in hell.
No, hell was when they played the Super Bowl with Neil O’Donnell at QB. ;-)
Yes, I remember that disaster. No one felt bad when they lost. I think we felt lucky to have scored at all. Ben is great. He made me fall in love with the team all over again.
Its official .. !
Sorry to break it to you, but I wouldn’t be bragging.
Worst officiated game since the last Steelers SB victory. NFL wants a Steelers victory, they get a Steelers victory.
Carter is the President, the Steelers are world champs. Next: Bell-bottomed jeans and DISCO!
Well, there is an old saying about opinions ... !
I already did that in the 70’s. I was pulling for the Cards, but it was a great game.
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
It’s a good day to be part of STEELER NATION!!!! That 4th quarter was amazing.
You said it! bttt
I would rather be part of the Steeler Nation then the Obamanation!!!!
F\if you all will excuse me. I’m going to go puke now.
:oP
Agreed. Harrison should have been thrown out of the game. The officiating spoilt the game for me. Hopefully this crew will not officiate at another SB.
I agree. The Stealers had better plan on sharing some of their game checks with the refs - they earned it. In a game with two ferocious defensive lines the Stealers get called for holding only once? Safety or not, that is Horse-pucky!
Thug Bowl.
Ahh... A Super Bowl Truther
HA HA HA YOU LOST
Well~What about that “Holding” penalty that gave the Cards 2PTS AND the Ball back? Without that “pro-Steeler” call= Game Over!I just love it when folks think the game was paid off.Let’s face it the Steelers should have been up 30+ to 7 & without the Ref’s The Steeler D would have only given up 14
