Looking through a stack of Post-Gazette NFLXtras, I'm pretty taken with the September 20, 2004 edition. Above the section title, there's a big picture of Maddox, doubled over in pain, holding his elbow, with a yellow hanky on the field next to him. Below it, Ron Cook has an editorial that never made the web (though it does appear to have been once posted here) called "No Maddox, No Hope for Steelers."
I quote: "There's no way to soften the loss of Tommy Maddox .... The Steelers' season is finished."
A lot of people agreed with Cook (but not this guy, FWIW).
Big Ben, Godsend indeed. It's not the QB that was a sudden, surprising gift so much as it was the whole season.
One game to win now. I say they do it. This time we get the flukey touchdown. Steelers 17, Patriots 6.
