 Steelers Fumble Away a Chance for Super Bowl Rally
The Steelers had all the momentum. The Terrible Towels were out in full force around Cowboys Stadium. Rashard Mendenhall took the handoff with every intention of moving Pittsburgh a little closer to completing an improbable comeback.
Then, a big hit, the ball popped out of Mendenhall's hands, and Greg Bishop took off with it for the Green Bay Packers.
It would be the biggest mistake on a night filled with them for the Steelers. Green Bay hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy with a 31-25 victory Sunday.
Mendenhall's fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter — Pittsburgh's third turnover of the game — helped the Packers hold on after the Steelers attempted to rally from an early 21-3 deficit.
