Truth is, a whole lot of things went our way Monday night but it isn't exactly like the Steelers were handicapped beyond repair. Ben still threw for over 300 yards, despite not feeling ready to compete. Harrison didn't play the game but neither did our best linebacker Patrick Willis.

I will say though, the power outages probably benefited us more than they did Pittsburgh because Ben had to wait long periods of time after he had just gotten his legs all warmed up to compete. Waiting that long to play again can't be good when you're in the cold and you have an injury that you need to keep warmed up so it doesn't tighten up. I felt kinda of bad for Ben at the end of the game. He threw for over 300 yards whilst injured and had almost nothing to show for it,
