If you missed the Steelers-Packers yesterday, you can see it on NFL Replay on Tuesday night at 9:30 on the NFL Network. You may even see the 4th quarter on The NFL's Greatest 4th Quarters soon. I was only able to watch the last possession, which was enough. But, here's a quick summary:
The Steelers lead 24-14 into the 4th, and like they have come to do this year, proceed to fall behind 28-27 about halfway thru. The Steelers then take the lead with about 4 1/2 minutes left with a field goal, 30-28. Then it gets interesting. Mike Tomlin calls for an on-side kick!!! When was last time you didn't want the Steeler defense on the field with the game on the line??????
Green Bay gets the ball at the Steeler 39 and promptly scores a TD, complet with 2 point conversion, making it 36-30. After the kickoff, the Steelers have the ball at their own 19 with 1:54 left and one time out. They proceed to drive down the field with the aid of a few Packer penalties and on the game's last play-a 19 yard TD pass. On the side of the endzone, that was accompanied by a review. Xtra point and Steelers win 37-36. Finally.
Even if you don't like the Steelers (but I know you all love them no matter how much you deny ) you gotta appreciate this game.
Now, beat the Ravens, beat the Dolphins - the Steelers might still make it to those playoffs. And if they do, the hair will probably be back. That would make life a lot more interesting.
