This. Right. Here.
I don't care how badly you want a first down to clinch the game, you have been giftwrapped a gimme FG on what, around the 20 yard line?
Kneel. Steelers timeout. Kneel. Steelers timeout. Kneel. Steelers timeout. Field goal. Kickoff. Roethlisberger can't throw the ball down the field more than 40 yards, play the sidelines, make a couple tackles in bounds, you win the game.
Bengals would have been up 4, requiring the Steelers to go length of the field with no timeouts.
That is such sorry coaching, and such a waste of McCarron's gutsy performance at the end of that game.
