It’s 3rd and 16. Two minutes left, Seattle up by two. All the Pittsburgh Steelers have to do is get a stop, force a punt, and they have a shot for Mason Rudolph to lead them to a game-winning drive. How storybook would that be?
Except the offense never got that chance. Instead, Russell Wilson broke contain, ran for 15 yards before giving himself up with a slide, setting up a 4th and 1 the Seahawks converted. Three kneeldowns later, the game was over. Storybook closed.
So how on Earth did that happen?
