I love Hines Ward. But I still think the MVP should have gone to the ref, Leavey. The game turned around on two calls--the bogus hold on Seattle's RT that took the ball from the one, and the 15 yards they tacked on to the INT on the strangest call I've ever heard off--a "block" below the waist on Hasselbeck when he tackled the DB by going low
That took the ball to close to midfield, and gave the Steelers the right field position to run the flanker reverse/option pass. They wouuldn't have run that play from their own 35
That being said--Seattle still has only themselves to blame. Missed opportunities galore, and horrible clock management--Holmgren turned into Herman Edwards
I can't recall a SB that had two horrible performances from the QBs.
