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.

Correct.

The difference though is that the defense would have had an easier situation, as the Steelers would have been down by 4 with 0 timeouts, thus needing to go the whole length of the field and no timeouts to stop the clock.

That is, of course, assuming Nugent doesn't miss the FG.
