My bad...21-17.
4 points more on the Jackson TD
4 less Steelers points when PIT should've been 4th and goal and likely kicked a FG.
7 points when Stevens catches the ball at the 2 and the phantom hold gets called against the end.

Not sure of the big deal at the end of the first. Ok, they would've likely gotten another FG if they didn't botch up the clock, but a TD was likely not in the cards, and the Seahakws lost by more then that missed FG attempt and the end of the first.

If you want to really count the Seahawks scrambling in panic mode with less then a minute to go, 80 yds to go, needing two scores and 1 T.O. as "botching" the end of the game, so be it, but by that time the game was already handed to the Steelers.

The two FG's missed were 50+ yds..one or both pushed back again due to some questionalbe calls

Re Jackson PI call: Before Jackson "pushed" (with 4 fingers) off, his route lead him tight to the Safety...and the Safety grazed Jackson's shoulder with his hand...is that not illegal contact on a receiver, if not full blown PI?
