Cowher defends onside kick

? Hours after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ worst loss in more than two years, there were no apologies from coach Bill Cowher.

There was no mea culpa for the failed onside kick at the start of the second half that unbeaten Indianapolis quickly converted into a touchdown and a 16-point lead en route to its 26-7 victory Monday night- the Steelers’ second loss in a row.

“The call was made to try to get us a spark and get us another possession,” Cowher said Tuesday. “That’s my decision. If it works, it’s a good play.”
