I Feel Bad for Rashard Mendenhall

After watching the Super Bowl, I could only help but wonder what people will think about when it came to Rashard Mendenhall's performance.  Most likely it will be the fumble he had in the third quarter, which ended up being the biggest play of the game.  The Steelers were driving with all the momentum, as they were on a 14-0 run at the moment, Mendenhall seems to stand straight up and basically hand the ball to the Packers.  This ultimately led to the Packers scoring a touchdown and an 11 point lead and ultimately the game.  Mendenhall had fumble problems early in has career and has since seemed to have it under control, up until the most crucial moment of one of the biggest games of his career.  The part that bothers me, is that Mendenhall had been running strong and hard all game, against a very tough defense.  He was very impressive and most people will likely forget all about it due to that one play.  He was very good during the  playoff run in general and in my opinion was the key to them getting to the Super Bowl, not Ben Roethlisberger.  Big Ben could have made everybody forget about his 2 picks as well as the Mendenhall fumble had he been able to lead the Steelers for one last touchdown drive in the waning minutes of the game.  It was not to be and the Packers are Super Bowl champs, which is also well deserved.
