The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season is now over, ending in somewhat inauspicious fashion after giving up a go-ahead touchdown and a two-point conversion off of a turnover to surrender the lead with three minutes to play. But in many ways, to be sure, it is remarkable that the Steelers had ever even gotten that far, and there are many reason for it.
One of the biggest reasons has to be first-year kicker Chris Boswell, who was the team’s fourth kicker starting from the beginning of the postseason, with the first three having either gotten injured or cut due to poor performance, later learning that he, too, was injured.
