In a thrilling, tense game that twisted and turned several times and featured a combined 87 points scored, it’s hard to boil it down to just a few plays. But the Steelers will be watching at home next Sunday as the Jaguars take on the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game, and the two fourth-down failures were a massive reason why they could not complete an improbable comeback.
Overcoming a 21-point deficit would have tied the Steelers' franchise all-time record, something they hadn’t done since the 1997 regular season, and yet it was right there for the taking with the way they had swung the game back.
