First and Goal on the 1-yard line of the Indianapolis Colts, holding a 21-18 lead with 1:20 left in the game, and needing a touchdown to put it away for good and punch their ticket to the AFC Championship Game, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in a great spot knowing that all they had to do was hand the ball off to Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis and put the game away.
It seemed simple, and on paper, it was.
Until it wasn’t.
As is well known, Bettis coughed up the football and led to a huge return from Indianapolis cornerback Nick Harper.
