Dang, I was wrong!!!

Sorry to all of you who may have bet money on the Steelers because both the Madden sim AND my sim picked them. I always thought Green Bay is a heck of a team, and they proved it tonight.

For 3 quarters, I chuckled. The game went very similarly to my simulation, with Green Bay entering the half with an 11 point lead. Pittsburgh had a tremendous 4th quarter, minus the missed 52 yard field goal. However, first play of the 4th quarter, Clay Matthews broke the cycle, making a huge play to strip Mendenhall of the balland regain the momentum. I was also shocked that, even with only 1 timeout, Big Ben was not able to drive with 2 minutes left and win the game like he did two years ago.

Still quite a game. Congrats, Cheeseheads! Move over Favre - you're in Mr. Rodgers's neighborhood now!
