Yes, some throws were off - on both sides - thanks in large part to the weather.
It doesn't take a "homer" to see the weather was an issue on both sides. I guess no one saw Ben throwing high, completing 51% and throwing a couple picks? Slipping a few times on the grass and looking at (and wiping off) his hands?
He threw 4, the Bengals just only chose to hang onto 2 of them. Lol
Of course with that in mind, Dalton threw 1 as well and the Steelers chose to not hold onto it as well.
Either way you break it, weather was an issue for both sides. Ben just got more time to throw it because his OL was allowed to blatantly hold all day right in front of the refs. I actually feel like it's kind of like Seattle that one year where they said "we'll just do PI every single play because the NFL won't call it every single play because it'd ruin the game".
