The second half has not been kind at all to the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. Or at least it hadn’t been, until today. the team entered the third quarter nursing a 13-10 lead that they should have been able to expand if not for a red-zone interception, but the final score shows that the game ended in a rout.
The Atlanta Falcons got the ball to start the third quarter, but the defense was able to keep them off the board, forcing them to punt. The offense responded with a 12-play, 90-yard touchdown drive that sucked up just over seven minutes of clock time, ending in a nine-yard reception from Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown.
