One thing cost us that game

Three times on the go-ahead drive they snapped the ball with the game clock running — each time with at least 16 seconds remaining on the play clock.

Here is a look at each:

• On third and 4 from their own 31, they snapped it with 22 seconds left on the play clock and got a first down on a 5-yard pass from Dalton to Uzomah.
• On first and 10 from their own 36, they snapped it with 16 seconds on the play clock and got a pass interference penalty on Pittsburgh.
• On first and 10 from the Pittsburgh 11, they snapped it with 17 seconds on the play clock and got a 7-yard completion from Dalton to Green.
  

Had they taken the play clock under 10 seconds in each instance, Pittsburgh would have had 44 seconds to work with rather than 1:12.

Two of those were from their own 31 and 36.  At that point you have to be inb a bit of a hurry because you have no idea how long it will take you to score.

Even when we had first and 10 at the Pitt 11 we might have needed all 8 plays to get in the end zone.

I guarantee if they ahd started milking the clock when on their own 30 yard line there would have been boos from the crowd.
