For the first 57 minutes of their game with the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Eve, the Steelers’ offense was as cold as the weather. Inaccurate throws, dropped passes, missed field goals and questionable decision-making squandered the stellar play of their defense, who held the Raiders to 201 yards and 10 points. When the offense trotted on to the field with 2:55 to play, trailing 10-6 and needing to drive 76 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, it seemed only a Christmas miracle would get them to the end zone.
That’s exactly what they delivered.
