DK: Martavis and the forward pass

[stillers4me]

The rewind of the Steelers’ 30-23 victory over the Texans on Monday night will focus almost entirely, I’m sure, on those ridiculous three minutes in which the home team piled up 24 points. And that’s as it should be.

Me, I’ll take one fairly nondescript play that occurred later, in the third quarter, when Ben Roethlisberger hit Darrius Heyward-Bey across the middle for a 17-yard gain and an escape from the shadow of their goal posts.

Not because it amount to much. It didn’t. The Steelers would punt from their 39.

And not because it was spectacular. Heyward-Bey made a very nice effort, coming back to the ball through two defenders to haul it in, but it’s a play you see a lot.

Just not in Pittsburgh...........

I mentioned that catch as one of many game saving plays last night. Reminds me of the third catch in this video although it was not the SB and also not as acrobatic. It did prevent us from kicking from our EZ setting them up potentially for a block or short field position almost guaranteeing points on their next offensive possession without using much time.
