"Tbow ... unfair, has God on his side ..." LOL!!

I got this note from NFL.com

Steelers left tackle Max Starks and nose tackle Casey Hampton both sustained ACL injuries that could require surgery. ... Defensive end Brett Keisel suffered a "significant" groin injury and linebacker LaMarr Woodley's strained right hamstring remains balky. Then there was Martin out because of altitude.

I think key injuries to the defense made the difference. That was even with high ankle sprains on Pouncey and Ben. Steelers scored enough if the defense had been able to bring pressure.

Question? Did, God "injure" those guys to help Tebow win or is it just that the Steelers have a lot of guys in their thirties and got unlucky on the wrong day.
