Once they knocked Ben out, I thought their defense looked fantastic. I saw no way Pittsburgh would drive on them. Even when Ben came back, the D looked great. Then they just lost control.
When Big Ben kept that last drive alive on 4th and 3 I figured Steelers would win it on a FG. I didn’t think it would be a 34 yarder because of two back to back 15 yard penalties. Utter stupidity from Bengal players. If nothing is wrong with Ben’s arm next weekend they have a great chance of beating Denver.
After the previous steeler turnover and having the ball with a minute and a half to go, I am sure the defense went to Devcon 5 when they went back in for the final drive. It was a game they had just won, until an idiotic fumble. That was the game mor or less. Give Ben a minute and a half to go 50 yards. He’ll get it most any day. He probably would have today too even without the help at the end. They were inside the 50 before the final costly penalties. Needed only 15 more to get to safe FG range.
