What do you think the Steelers Play Of The Decade is?
I think there’s a good amount to choose from. For me, this was the first that comes to mind:
This one for me:
Troy p over the top to stop Flacco. Can't find clip.

Not many to choose from, sadly.
I’ll just go with The Goal Line Stand against the Jets as an honorable mention.
Harrison's SB INT for a TD.
Hater = Realist
Juju laying out Burfict.
Obviously not the “play of decade” but I still love watching the stiff arm that McDonald put on Conte.
Ju Ju's 97 yarder against Detroit and the broncos, or his toe tap vs the raiders. Lev Bell's run into the endzone as time expired forget the team...ravens??? not sure
Mendenhall humping Big Ben at the end of the AFCCG against the Ravens
See you Space Cowboy ...
Am I wrong though? I don’t see you naming any memorable plays. Let’s see...
Ben’s Fake Spike TD to Brown in the 2016 Cowboys game.
Ben playing on one leg against the Browns in 2011.
Martavis Bryant’s 88 yard scamper against the Cardinals in 2015.
Martavis Bryant’s 94 yard bomb against the Bengals in 2014.
Antonio Brown’s hump punt return against the Colts in 2015.
Le’Veon Bell’s walk off wildcat TD against the Chargers in 2015.
AB's big gain on 3rd and 18 against the Ratbirds. Most important play of the Steelers most successful season (and lone Super Bowl appearance)
I think that you are referring to the game at San Diego, where Tomlin opted to go for the two-point conversion (instead of going to overtime). It was so or die... and Bell got in.
If that is indeed the game to which you are referring, it would be my personal highlight of the decade, because I was there... and after that score, the ROAR was deafening for a full 4 minutes (not the embellished version, but an actual 4 minutes where I could not hear my brother & dad who were seated beside me). Amazing finish to a game.
IMO most significant play was Burfict clocking AB in the steel cage death match with the Bengals in the 2015 season playoffs
If AB plays the next week I know Steelers would have beaten the eventual Super Bowl champ Broncos and who knows how far they could have gone after that
More importantly, AB started going completely nuts after that, which I believe was related to Burfict scrambling his brain, which blew up the team and his career
AB’s stretch into the end zone to win the division.
Sadly, they scored a touchdown on the next play. Recovered the onside kick too, and gave us a scare with a long bomb after that and a near-miss in the end zone.
Still, I am amazed that in all the times I saw Troy Polamalu try to jump the snap count, he got it right EVERY time. He probably only messed up once or twice in his career, if even that. The dude could seriously slow down time, I am not even joking. Someone needs to investigate that for science.
See you Space Cowboy ...
There was a series when Peyton was with the Broncos. A chess match between Peyton & Troy.
Peyton surveyed the defense, saw Troy lined up in spot X... and audibled out of the play. Troy moved, which Peyton saw, and Peyton audibled again to a third play. Troy moved again, and Peyton called a time out. As Peyton walked towards his sideline, he looked over at Troy, and nodded (like, "You won that match.").
One of my all-time favorite plays... that never even occurred.
