Examining the Steelers’ doomed final play against the Broncos

Ugh.

That’s my gut reaction to what transpired in Denver on Sunday. After escaping Jacksonville with a win that probably should have been a loss, we exited Denver with a loss that should have been a win. No moment better captured the frustration that was Sunday’s effort than the ill-fated final offensive play, when Ben Roethlisberger threw a brutal game-ending interception with the Steelers poised to score and (likely) force overtime. How in the name of Cliff Stoudt did that happen? Here’s a breakdown.

Denver 24, Pittsburgh 17.
