Steelers backups come through as Bengals self-destruct

[stillers4me]

They will be talking about this football game in Pittsburgh for years. Ben Roethlisberger left after three quarters Saturday night with a shoulder injury only to come back to play in the final two minutes with virtually one arm and lead the Steelers to a surreal 18-16 win in their AFC wild-card hair-pull against the Cincinnati Bengals.

“When he makes miracles happen, I’m not surprised,” Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier said.


They also will be talking about the game for years in Cincinnati. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since 1990, the longest current streak in the NFL. They have only themselves to blame for this latest debacle.........

Unfortunately this will be the story for a game where several Steeler rookies and backups had a very Steeler game.

Yep, never mind the Steelers pretty much dominating through the first 3 quarters of the game until Ben got knocked out. If anyone "self-destructed," it was the Steelers.

I'm glad I read through this first cause this is EXACTLY what I wanted to post. Yeah, where's the "Steelers dominating the first 3 quarters" stories at???? Score may not have reflected that, but they did. Ben went down and so did the team, it happens, but that's how the criminals ended up pulling ahead. What they blew was the first 3 quarters of the game. Is it too much to ask for accurate reporting????????

Ok cool ...Ben goes down thats one thing ...how is it that our defense goes down as well and allow the Bengals to close the gap?
