20 yards? 30?

You say the game would be over, but you also said they didn't believe that Pittsburgh would be able to move the ball so what difference would another 20 or 30 yards make?
Probably around 30 yards. If they kick deep and dont allow a first down they are are getting the ball back with more than 3 minutes left around their 40 yardline. If they go for the onside and dont get it and force them 3 and out they are getting the ball inside their own 20 more than likely which makes it extemely difficult to score a TD.
