but it's a win baby!!!!!! Just an amazing effort from the black and gold and a total team win. Defense bailed Ben out in the 3rd quarter and he returned the favor in the 4th. Bell and Brown...have mercy! Huge shout out to the fans as well...Heinz was absolutely rocking when the Steelers took the 24-20 lead. Playoff bound baby! Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!
 
Amazing game, great bounce back in the fourth, our big guys stepped up
 
It seems as if it is never easy with these Steelers.
 
Take two weeks off and get healthy..
 
With eight seconds left I was still holding my breath. Just was nice to see the effort on that last drive by more than one plsyer. Thanks Steelers for a Christmas to remember
 
So, my son walked in the door yesterday morning ... surprised the **** out of me because as far as I knew he was deployed in Afghanistan. I'm sure any of you fathers know how I felt about that surprise. Boy's home, SAFE!! We drank ... a LOT. Talked and shared war stories. Anyway, the combination of the travel, the booze and the home cooked Christmas meal had him out halfway through the first. He woke up during the the 4th while I was bitching about Ben ... Lil MF'er told me: "Ben, Bell, Brown ... they got this. No disrespect sir, but please shut up" ... The Steelers started to turn it around shortly after he said that. Little ****** sat there with a smug smile on his face. Told me "I'm home, I'm fed, I'm drunk and the Steelers win ... Best Christmas ever!!"

I'll remember this game til the day I die! God bless America. God bless my son for his service and keep him safe always. And God bless the Pittsburgh Steelers ... a passion we share!!
 
I aged 10 years from this game.

god bless him and keep him safe...

ex soldier myself...
 
One moment I'm losing my **** that this is how it will end this year. The next moment I'm jumping around like a nut when AB got his arm over the line.
 
Amazing finish. Instant classic. Game of the year. Their initial plan of packing in with extra TE's was brutal. Should have spread it out from the start.
 
At the end I was yelling at the TV to kick the 3 pointer on third down and go to OT. I could easily see them going for it (they did) and running out of time before they could score (they didn't).

Dug up this pic from the past.
God bless your son. I have a Lieutenant daughter serving in Italy where it's a bit safer. Hope she stays there.

Fantastic pic! God Bless your daughter and thank her for her service!
 
Definitely one of the best Decembers/ Christmases for me. Beat the Rats, Penn State Conference Champs, Army Black and Gold beats Navy after 14 consecutive losses to them.

One of the most memorable Holiday time games for me was the Christmas Eve Massacre game of 2005... Browns stadium was rocking with Terrible Towel waving Steeler fans witnessing this 41-0 massacre of the Browns... and as an encore James Harrison slams a Browns fan to the turf.

With guys as close as it was do you think they could have spiked it with nine seconds. No one has to run back from 25 yards down field. They say 13 seconds to line up but they were all close. It would have been a squeeze.

That was a helluva read, thank for sharing that, Buckeye. I salute your son for his service, may the good Lord watch over him and his unit so they safely finish their deployment
 
This might add a year or two back. They say BR is good with kids:

It's funny. We had the in-laws over for Christmas dinner, so I couldn't act the *** during the game. Was calm throughout, and ended up really enjoying the back and forth. I'm getting old, too. Still, that game was fun.
