It seemed to me the Hawks were ripped off...they called everything against them and nothing on the Steelers....Every momentum changing and big play they were penalized... The 1st TD pushoff was iffy I'll give the Refs that one maybe... but that was not a TD the ref was gonna mark it short the Rothlesberger moved the ball up but they gave him the td....and the replay showed he was stopped short.... Also the holding call on the big pass..bullshit!!!! you cant call an iffy penalty in the Superbowl..... and they call a Low block on a tackle... the Refs seemed to get caught up in the steelers hype....they seemed in awe... either way they were ripped off..........
