This is the toughest part of being an NFL fan. You go through 5 months of games (counting preseason) and it can all be over in 60 minutes of game time. Now we have to wait 7 months for the next NFL season.
I almost wish I were more of a MLB or NBA fan, because then you have a 7 game series in the playoffs. With a series, you really feel like the better teams rise to the top. With playoff football games, you don't always feel like the better team wins all the time. I have no doubt that the Bengals are a better team than the Steelers. Yet here we are again. It's going to be a long wait.
I hate "moral victories" but maybe this Steelers game gave the players confidence they can win. They nearly did.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
