This game was played in pouring rain. With that, both offenses weren't clicking. Yet, the Steelers' offense was clicking just a bit better. When Martavis Bryant made that most amazing touchdown catch, I thought for sure this game was over. But then Ben Roethlisberger got sacked by Vontaze Burfict, it looked like a clean sack though video I saw showed that Burfict gave Big Ben an extra knee in the shoulder. That sent Big Ben to the training room for some x-rays.
Cincinnati then quickly scored a touchdown. In came Landry Jones for the Steelers. He did an okay job as the quarterback during the season, but in this game he did nothing. The Steelers had 2 drives that went no where and then Cincinnati scored to go ahead 16 - 15. One last try for the Steelers, but then Jones threw an interception. Game over. I was cursing under my breath.
Oh wait. Cincinnati fumbled the ball. Big Ben came in. He wasn't able to throw any long balls, but the Steelers were slowly moving up the field. The problem: time was running out. Then came the vicious Burfict hit. Then a penalty. Then the game winning field goal. Wow.
A great victory; however . . . will Big Ben and Antonio Brown be able to play against Denver? That's the question.
