There were 92 yards between the Steelers and the Raven’s goal line. Roughly 2:45 later and Big Ben was hitting Santonio Holmes for the game-winning touchdown. Three of their last five victories have required a late-game comeback of some sort. The controversial ending in San Diego had a late 4th quarter drive to set up the winning field goal by Reed. Last week against the Cowboys saw a late drive tie the game before Deshea…
(Think Jingle Bells) Kickoff time arrives Towels are waving high Tomlin says to beat them up Steelers happily comply Parker to the left Mewelde to the right Big Ben heaves it down the field Heat pulls that ball in tight Oh, Jingle bells, TO smells Flozell whiffed again Romo sacked, March them back Time to punt again Oh, Jingle bells, TO smells Flozell whiffed again Romo sacked, March them back Time to punt again Dashing…
It was a rainy day along much of the East Coast, fitting weather as the Patriots’ defense threatened to rain on the Steelers‘ hopes of a road win. Big Ben’s second pass from scrimmage was intercepted and quickly converted into a Patriots touchdown. The next possession was a 3-and-out. The game had ugly potential before it started. That potential was quickly realized. Characteristically, the Pittsburgh defense would force punts on the following three series before…
With a 17-7 Steelers lead and the defense turning in yet another stingy performance, it appeared little more was needed than a couple of first downs to run out the clock and head into halftime with momentum and high hopes of continuing the beating on the other side. Whoah, nelly! The Colts would have none of that. After their fourth straight punt ended their 5th drive, the Colts had the Steelers start from their own…
Heresy! Heresy! Burn him at the stake! OK, I get it, don’t mess with the 27 million dollar man. Ah, screw it. The Steelers have to sit Big Ben to save him from himself and from the offensive line and frankly, the Steelers playoff hopes from him. What if the Colts game played out like the Redskins game of the prior week? Ben sits after the half and Lefty comes in to rally the troops…
It was looming ahead of them: a road matchup with the 0-6 Bengals. The trap was set but the cats from Ohio placed it in plain sight. Coming off a bye week amid speculations of rust and worries of falling for a trap, the Steelers roll over the Bengals 38-10 and head home to regroup for a tough four game stretch. This game had a little something for every Steeler fan: crushing blows, outstanding defense,…
Finally the Steelers get the better of the hated Jax Jags. Big Ben and the boys got off to a great start on the first drive. They efficiently moved the ball down the field. And in one play they were down 7-0, victims of an INT returned all the way home. It was a deflating moment that no doubt had many Steelers fans sighing and thinking, “Here we go again.” They received the next kickoff…
