It is 100% wrong to claim the defense never had to play another snap to seal the win. We could not burn the clock. They would have had to stop the Stealers no matter what and they failed.
I am not excusing Hill for his screw up, but I am not excusing the defense either.
Fred, do me a favor and show me where I said "the defense never had to play another snap". I even said the Steelers would have to score a TD in the post you quoted.
The Steelers would have about a minute with zero timeouts (basically zero time) to score a TD, and Roethlisberger's shoulder was hurt. That is a win.
