Ben Roethlisberger was
Ben Roethlisberger was 6-for-7 in the opening touchdown drive. Although this is uncharacteristic of a typical Bill Cowher team, it was genius.
The Colts had a week off and rested too much at the back end of the season. Bill Cowher had been in these situations with his teams in the past and new that the Colts defense would be soft and rusty in the beginning. He also knew that with his past tendencies to dedicate too much to the run, the Colts would defend the Steelers rushing attack early. He caught them off guard and the Colts were playing catch up ever since.
Bill Cowher was genius in this game but we will have to see their performance against the Denver Broncos to see how they come out attacking. In the end, without Ben Roethlisberger being the big gamer he is, Bill Cowher would not be looking so genius.
