Pittsburgh's loss to Miami wasn't really about the litany of little things working against them. Oh, sure, Pittsburgh went 3-for-11 on third-down conversions. They also threw two interceptions to Miami's zero. But on a game theory level, there's not much here that says things broke bad for Pittsburgh.
Instead, Miami won this game by adopting some new identities successfully and injuring Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger was hurt during the runback of his first interception, and from there his accuracy and air on the football became scattershot. He hadn't looked comfortable in the pocket all day, which is something that sometimes happens when you ask a tight end to block Cameron Wake one-on-one.
