And the sad part is we had the ability to get another first down before 1st and goal. So I wanted them to run it a few times. I do think Mixon kind of got caught up in the moment. If I were him I would have done my best to get the first down but not the touchdown quite yet. He had too much faith in the defense. But 1:18 and 3 TOs to go ~40 yards and get a field goal is just way too easy against a defense with no pass rush and a bunch of injured starters, especially when it's against Roethlisberger.
A veteran, I think knees it at the one (if possible) and takes another minute off the clock.
