Thank you Pittsburgh

Jeff Reed's 24-yard field goal with 17 seconds left Monday night gave Pittsburgh a 3-0 victory over Miami, the first time in 64 years an NFL game went that long without any points.

"Those conditions, whew, they were horrendous," Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said after daylong rain and new sod created awful playing conditions. "The footing was bad, all of a sudden you'd hit a water puddle and sink down. Some of defensive backs were scared about falling down and giving up a big play."

The dream season stays alive. I must admit that I was nervous towards the end of the game. You had a feeling that a ball, or fumble, had to bounce Miami's way eventually. But no, further proving that destiny wants the symmetry of two perfect seasons (the Pats 16-0 vs. Miami's impending 0-16). Bright side, at least Miami gets the first pick in the draft. I'm almost pretty sure they won't screw it up.
