It was a lot closer than people think, and veteran kickers don't miss easy fgs like that most of the time. The suisham injury just literally lost them a game (or left them much farther from it than they could have been).
I have to disagree. The Patriots were dominant and coasted to a W. That last minute score was irrelevant and made it look closer than it really was.
The Pats took a 28-14 lead with 7:00 left, and at that point the Pats let the Steelers have the short throws over the middle. If the game were closer, the Pats D probably would've tightened up.
I do think the Steelers will be good this year, but this game wasn't as close as the score, imo.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
