Yep, the Steelers required the following to happen:
- One of the better QBs in the league throwing an uncharacteristic 4 picks, and fumbling one. Throwing a pick 6 on the very first pass of the season.
- A late TD not being given, and resulting in a 0 point drive.
- An injury to a long snapper resulting in an Extra Point and a chip shot FG both failing. Either of which wins the game.
- A timely concussion to what would have been a key part of our receiving group late.
- Being given an extra 13 seconds right at the end of OT (whatever you think of the call to punt early, it's obvious the Steelers would have thought of it as beneficial to them to receiving the ball with the added time).
All of which resulted in a last gasp 3 point win. I said yesterday, that is the sort of win which doesn't breed confidence. However, they know how to win games when the chips are down, and as per usual the Steelers will be better than you think. The game they won yesterday counts the same as the Bills/Chiefs wins did (infact, it actually counts more, but you get the point).
I think if they could trade a healthy Watt for that win though, they probably would. Injuries for them were brutal.
