One of the most remarkable realities of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2021 season is the fact that, even though they won only nine games, seven of those victories were earned via game-winning drives led by former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
That means they were losing a lot, or at least tied, in the fourth quarter, but as often as not, found a way to put the final points on the board that put them over the top. They tied for the league lead in point scored in the fourth quarter. If only they could have gotten off to similar starts, maybe they wouldn’t have needed those late-stage Hall-of-Fame heroics.
