Or that it was worth hurting Brown because it hurt the Steelers playoff chances, as if the bengals winning would have hurt them more. That's all crap because Bosewell didn't shank it, and that's all that matters.
The Steelers earned the win through about 3 quarters, then blew it. Having a chance to make a comeback, Jones threw a horrible interception, while Ben stood - apparently healthy enough to play - on the sidelines. The Steelers prolonged their death with a fumble recovery, but that's all it should have done. Then Burfict and Jones did the impossible and gave the Steelers a chip shot field goal to win. I'd say both the Steelers and Bengals did enough to earn a win, but the Bengals picked a bad time to put out a 'classic Bungal moment'. Neither Tomlin nor Lewis put out a winning effort on their end of things.
So the bengals beat themselves and the steelers didn't earn it. I thought that is what you were getting at earlier but you really drove the point home this time. Got it now.
