The Seahawks outplayed the Steelers as far as pure talent was concerned, but the Seahawks also made way more mistakes, and got screwed by the officiating. You take those two first scores by both teams, and it's a 3 point game, and both of those were BS calls and everyone I know agrees, HORRIBLE calls.

That being said, there was the Hassleback interception, the Parker TD allowed and the poor clock management at the end of the second half. The only mistake that Pittsburgh made was the interception in the red zone. The fact is that the Steelers played a great game, but it should have been a lot closer than it was. I tip my hat to the Steelers for playing so smartly and being so prepared for the game. I hope the Seahawks are back next year, and hopefully a) the calls are even unlike this year, and b) they are able to be more prepared for the game and cut down those mistakes. I think it comes down to them making non-championship like mistakes in a championship game.
