I actually am still blaming the Chiefs, as all they had to do was make the field goal in the first place. The Steelers had themselves in position to make the playoffs. The Chiefs missing the field goal and not getting a rekick likely (if the rekick had been made) cost the Steelers a playoff spot.

I just heard Mike Tomlin take full responsibility for them not making the playoffs. They had 16 opportunities this season to not have it come down to this call. I'm sure someone can get the stats but is the percentage of made FGs from 36 significantly different than 41? Probably not.
