We didn't lose in the last 2 minutes. No single play cost us the game. And we can't blame the refs. I really like McCarron, but in the first half he wasn't playing great. If one of those turn overs wasn't a turn over, but even a field goal, it would have changed the game.I have to strongly disagree with the bolded. The hit and obvious intent to hurt Gio and the no-call/fumble changed the momentum and direction of the whole game. If that play was properly called. The ball would have been dead (NO FUMBLE) and a 15 yd. personal foul penalty would have given the Bengals a 1st and goal at the 7 yd line...
So, while I agree the officiating was bad, I don't truly believe it cost us the game.
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...
