It didn't go Seattles way because the ball went about 10 more yards downfield and out of bounds, that's a big first down for the Hawks if it's allowed. Only if someone was there to recover would it have been a call for Seattle.

So far all my Steeler buddies are saying the same thing, they all think that the game was manipulated in their favor, but they also are saying that was exactly what was happening to them against the Colts, which I couldn't agree more, I watched that game and although I bet the Colts I was just laughing at what the refs were letting the Colts get away with to get them back into that game. To the Steelers credit they got out to an early lead and were able to hold them off, I guess the nfl learned from their mistake and made sure nothing like that hapeened in the SB. Especially after the start as the Hawks were moving the ball methodically on them, and not allowing the steelers out of their own end.
