Super Bowl Doomed by Curse of Jerry

Filed under: Packers, Steelers, Super Bowl, NFL Analysis

ARLINGTON, Texas - Why aren't the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl champions? Perhaps Christina Aguilera summed it best in the national anthem.

"What so proudly we watched ..."

How do you flub that line? How do the Steelers commit three turnovers?

There is only one link -- Jerry Jones.

Everything he touched turned to frozen cow manure before the game, but who would've thought it was only a warmup? Sunday's big hoedown at Cowboys Stadium turned into the imperfect ending to a thoroughly imperfect week. Unless you were a Packers fan, in which case you just want to get out of town before the Curse of Jerry gets you.

The Steelers will leave Dallas thinking they were robbed. By themselves. "We ... we ... I'm not going to say we gave one away," Antwaan Randle El said. "You have to give credit to Green Bay. But we had the game in our hands."

That was one of the worst places to put anything valuable on Sunday. Steelers hands dropped the ball or threw it to the wrong team. The difference in the game was as simple as the turnover differential.

Pittsburgh 3, Green Bay 0.

Yes, you have to give the Packers credit. Every Steelers player was careful to point that out. Then they went back to banging their heads on the wall over all their semi-self-inflicted wounds. What had gotten into them?
