The Steelers had a 99.82% chance of beating Baltimore, Scobee blames wind
- 9 years ago
With 2:04 remaining in the biannual rivalry slugfest, James Harrison introduced Joe Flacco to the Heinz Field turf for Pittsburgh's fifth sack of the game on fourth down.
Turnover on downs, Pittsburgh ball at Baltimore's 29-yard line and only one Ravens timeout remaining.
The fact that Pittsburgh managed to lose the game 23-20 in overtime isn't just a statistical anomaly; it's a spat in the face of logic.
More than anything, perhaps, is the fact that is conveys the overriding theme of Pittsburgh's second loss of the season: They had to try really, really hard to lose that game.
Twice the Steelers had a chance to bury the Ravens in overtime.
A pair of fourth-and-short conversions, however, proved to be futile, the second missed attempt leading as the Ravens' Justin Tucker drilling a game-winning 52-yard kicker.
