The Steelers pulled the cover off of the Mazerati to see if the engine would start. After a couple of sputtering attempts, it revved up with Ben Roethlisberger and the offensive starters methodically marching 58 yards down the field for the team's first touchdown, a 17 yard pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster. This feels real.  Not like 8th grade with Bubba Kowalchik towered over the entire middle school at 5'6", only to stretch out to 5'8" by senior year. NO.  This feels like.......destiny.

Bradshaw versus Roethlisberger - although it's ridiculous to compare eras, Elliot Harrison of the NFL Network tried.  He has Ben at #19 and Terry at #17.

OK. We lied. We said that there was no way the Steelers would make the playoffs this year. We said that we weren't going to get invested in this game against the Bengals.  

For a while, that was true.  Until it became possible that the Steelers might LOSE and the Browns would WIN in an ironic, cruel twist of incompetency.

Then things started swinging our way.  The Steelers took a tie into the 4th quarter and managed to scratch and claw its way to victory. Meanwhile, Bake Mayfield was leading an improbable come back charge in Baltimore.  It came down to a 1st down and 10 yards at the Raven 39. All the Browns had to do was move the ball a paltry 4 yards to get into field goal position. Four downs later, the Ravens had the ball on an interception, claiming first place in the AFC North, and denying the Steelers a spot in the playoffs.

In this episode:
