Nice game, Steelers. Gutsy.
But you’ll have to play much better than that to beat the New York Jets.
There’s no dismissing the Steelers’ resilience. No doubting — ever again — the clutch nature of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who pulled a nail out of the Steelers’ coffin on third-and-19 and hammered it into the Ravens’.
Any other town, they’d already be building a statue of Roethlisberger. That’s OK. I’ll do it myself.
But special teams were a disaster. Consider Baltimore’s fourth-quarter punt-return touchdown that got penalized back to the Steelers’ 29 but still set up the Ravens’ game-tying field goal. The Steelers committed three penalties on special teams. Shaun Suisham missed a 43-yard field goal.
One-for-two in a playoff game: Sounds about right for Suisham.
