Honestly, I agreed with a lot of the questionable calls:

- Offensive pass interference - yeah, it wasn't much, but it was clear that he pushed off. If they're going to call defensive interefence if the corner breathes on the WR, you have to call that.
- Ben's run - IMO, the corner of the football just crossed the front of the plane of the end zone. The tackle pushed it back, and then Ben put it across. It was close, but I think he made it - you can't say it was an obvious screwup.
- The hold that Madden swore up and down wasn't...was. The lineman clearly had the Steeler under the shoulder pad, then let go as he was falling.
