For those of you that tuned into the wild, octuple-overtime finish between Georgia and Georgia Tech on Friday evening, you were probably reminded of some of your favorite overtime finishes in Pittsburgh Steelers history.
In 2002, the Steelers hosted the Atlanta Falcons. Normally you would associate a tie game with it being boring. This game, however, was one of the wackiest ties in NFL history, and anything but boring.
The Steelers had Tommy Maddox at quarterback and the Falcons had second-year QB Mike Vick. That was Vick’s breakout season as he was named to the Pro Bowl, All-Pro team, and received at least some votes to be the league’s MVP.
