Defensive Gaffes:
Truth be told, the Dallas defense played well enough to win on Sunday. They dominated the Pittsburgh offense for the majority of the afternoon so much so that, up until the 3-minute mark in the 3rd quarter, the "mighty" Steelers had produced a total of 105 offensive yards.
Pittsburgh produced:
- 238 offensive yards
- 3/16 on 3rd-down
- 70 yards rushing
- 2 lost fumbles
Pittsburgh's scoring drives:
- 6 plays - 16 yards: Field Goal
- 4 plays - 2 yards: Field Goal
- 8 plays - 67 yards: Touchdown
As much as I would like to pile on Wade and Company for going "prevent" in the 4th quarter, I just can't. Despite getting blasted for "folding" at the end of the game, the Dallas defense only gave up 71 yards in the final quarter. If your defense holds the opponent to under 80 rushing yards, less than 250 total yards, forces two turnovers AND comes up with a giant goal-line stand, they did their job.
The offense, on the other hand...part III coming soon.
