The Carolina Panthers came out to start their Thursday night game against the Steelers on a roll, scoring with ease on their opening drive to take a seven point lead early in the first quarter.
And then the wheels fell off the wagon, and the wagon crashed into the mountain and fell into the abyss, landing in a burning heap of ash that was immediately stomped out by the steel-toed boot of Ben Roethlisberger.
The Steelers took exactly 11 seconds to tie the game. James Bradberry bit on a double move by JuJu Smith-Schuster and Ben Roethlisberger didn’t miss the wide open receiver, and the Steelers struck on a 75-yard touchdown pass to tie the game.
