The Pittsburgh Steelers played at 4:25 on Sunday in Week 16, and they knew a lot about their playoff situation when the game vs. the New Orleans Saints started. The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts all winning meant the pressure was on for the visiting team.
Win, and remain in control of your own destiny.
Lose, and pray the Ravens lose next week vs. the Cleveland Browns...or it is all over.
With that said, with the Metrodome rocking, the Steelers elected to receive the opening kickoff, but were able to muster only one first down before Jordan Berry was called on to punt the ball back to Drew Brees and the Saints’ offense.
