Hm, yes and no. They brought in Asa Jackson (4th year corner) on the exemption for the practice squad, a guy who could play against Pittsburgh if someone got hurt vs. Cleveland. But honestly this year there's no one on the street that's better than the 53 they have. They're that healthy.
As for 3rd-and-2 -- that's Hue and Andy's call. How do you not throw it to AJ Green on a backup corner? He caught it. Andy just delivered it late. A better throw and we're talking about the No. 1 seed in the AFC right now.
As for the thought that they did that because they were worried about being gouged in OT -- nah. In their mind, they would have won the toss and scored a TD.
