I particularly like the part where Nate says, “Then they scored an unlikely win at Pittsburgh, aided by a 97 yard kickoff return to open the game and a safety late.” It’s as if the special teams play doesn’t matter! Try telling that to the San Diego Chargers who finished with both the number one offense and the number one defense and didn’t make the playoffs because of their special teams play. And it’s not like they don’t have their own Peyton Manning in Phillip Rivers who threw for 4700 yards this year which is 10 more yards than Peyton Manning did (with 3 less TD’s and 4 less INT’s)!
The last time I checked, I seem to remember Brad Smith running a kick back for 6 points against the Colts too in the now infamous game where the Colts pulled their starters. If I remember correctly the 6 points counted and had a little something to do with the Colts not going undefeated on the season. And why is the Jets getting the safety in the Pittsburgh game and keeping the Steelers out of the endzone in the final moments “unlikely”, because Nate said so? It seems to me that the 11 guys on the defensive side of the ball had something to do with that.
