Kick or be kicked

Even though the Steelers fans booed Bill Cowher's decision to kick a field goal from New England's 2-yard line, I think it was the right decision. The momentum is entirely with Pittsburg.

If the Steelers' defense can hold the Patriots again, they would have a chance to cut the lead to 3. While it's tempting to go for the TD from such close range, I think it's better to take the sure points than gamble and lose at such a pivotal point of the game.

Yeah, and now with that field goal it's a two touchdown game again. That strategy only works if the defense holds, which it didn't.
