hey becky did you even see the replays? Two dolphins had the ball and one of them got up with it and handed it to the referee, whih is all you need absent some other evidence that pitt possessed it after the fumble. sorry but that's always been the rule on any "scrum." fumble equals loss of possession by Steelers. NO evidence at all that Pitt recovered possession. Followed by dolphins possession. The video IS indisputable proof of a dolphins recovery.
second, after he determind the fumble, pitt's ref did not go back to the officials on the field and have them make the possession call. Two officials said they saw miami come out with it. If your pitt's ref had done that, then pitts would have had to overturn that call with indisputable proof.

The bottom line is this, once the official signaled for a touchdown, the whistle blew and the play was dead. It doesn't matter that it was later changed to a fumble. They had to go to 4th down. There was no way to tell what happened to the ball. It wasn't a pretty win. However, a win is a win.
