Hill's fumble was bad, but the Steelers still had the ball on their own 8 yard line with 1:20 to go and a crippled QB.
Pac nd Burfict played great that whole year, but their lack of control cost us that game.

Hill is definitely to blame also...but the Steelers had to take the ball an insane amount of yards to score. Personal Fouls are definitely controllable...but not for those guys.
They had 1:30 and ALL THREE timeouts and only needed a FG because Hill couldn't hold onto the ball after Burfict makes the INT to get the turnover. Hill holds onto the ball and even gains 1 yard per carry, the Bengals kick the 38-40-ish yard FG and then the Steelers are left with 60 seconds and 0 timeouts while down by 4, which means they would need a TD.
If Burfict wasn't a part of that game, the Bengals would have gotten blown out.
Don't revise history just because he's an easy target to make into a villain. In that game, he's the only reason why the Bengals even had a chance.

Don't forget Hill trying to taught us after "winning" a ring last year...
