A weekly series I’ll do that captures the forgotten and hidden plays that helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win or lose. Not the touchdowns, turnovers, or plays that will make the Monday morning highlights – the little ones that, looking back, played a key role in the outcome. I’ll start with a hidden moment that helped the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Steelers in Week 18.
Pat Freiermuth’s Stumble
Yesterday, we dove into the Steelers’ terrible 2-minute drill at the end of the game. But things weren’t any better in the first half. After CB Beanie Bishop Jr.’s interception, Pittsburgh had a prime chance to kick a field goal at least, tie the game at 10 at the half, and get the ball to start the third quarter.
