It might have been able to be repaired, but probably not. The glass blower then in a fit of rage stomped on it to make sure that the small chance of it being fixed turned to zero.
At the end of the day, Hill is still the asshole who dropped it and broke it when his task was a very small and simple, yet still important one. (Don't F'ing fumble, put two hands on the ball.)
The game was not "broken" when the defense came on the field. The Bengals were still ahead. The Steelers had the ball at their own 10 yard line with a minute left and a QB who could barely throw the ball.
Hill made a bad mistake. But the defense that you keep fawning over pulled an epic fail on the final drive.
I am not blaming the defense more than Hill. I am saying they BOTH failed. Why heap praise on a defense that shit the bed when the game was on the line?
