The Icing is Sweet

In a heart stopper of a game, the Steelers went from certain victory (1st and goal with 1:20 left), to certain defeat (Bettis fumble being returned, a great saving tackle by Big Ben), to certain OT (46 FG attempt by the Colts), and finally swung back to certain victory (horrible, horrible FG attempt). The game saw some strange calls (blowing the play dead without calling a false start or offside) and some horrible calls (overturning the Polamalu INT) by the officiating crew. In the end, though, the Steelers played the game they had to play, and did what no one thought they could do - beat the Colts in a playoff game in Indy, becoming the first 6th seed to make it to a Championship game.

My main desire 3 weeks ago was for the Steelers to make it to the playoffs and defeat Cinci. I felt Steelers were the better team, and would prove it on a rematch. Everything after that win would be icing. Well, this icing tastes pretty sweet.
