As for the jackson TD. it can go either way. its a simple call. I look at it this way. There was absolutely no reason jackson even had to extend his arm and nudge the defender at all. If he hadnt done that he could have caught the ball anyway.

Lets not forget the bad calls the steelers received in their games earlier yet they came out on top. Gotta play through and overcome.
No Doubt!

I must have watched sports center for about 10hrs. I fell asleep on the Big Ben TD run and woke up to it again the next morning. Like you said, the ball broke the plane. Most seem to forget that the ball doesn't have to cross the endzone line. All it has to do it touch it. Replay, after replay, after even slower replay, you can see that the ball does BREAK THE PLANE. I have to give props to the Seattle defender who met Ben at the line because he damn near snuffed that play out, but, he didn't stop the ball from breaking the plane.

As for the interference call...who didn't see the push off by the receiver? It was as blatant as you can get. The fact that the push changed the defenders momentum was extremely evident. As stated, he could have just as easily caught the ball without the push, but he did push off of the defender and he was flagged for it. To be honest, I thought it was a bad call until I saw the replay. You can clearly see the defender was pushed back on his heels during the play. Geez people, give me a break! With as poorly as Big Ben played, Seattle had several opportunities to make up for any "bad call". The bottom line is, they didn't finish well and Pittsburgh did. Drooped passes, holding penalties that took them out of field goal range, passes caught out of bounds, and most importantly, POOR CLOCK MANAGEMENT. Seattle did more than enough wrong in the 2nd half to warrant a loss, but to say it was because of the officiating is absolutely ridiculous. Neither team was going to get an easy win but, as previously stated, "Gotta play through and overcome", and that is what Pittsburgh did all post-season long.
