(Reuters) - Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has proven to be a late-game daredevil, not afraid of taking a gamble in the final seconds, and it paid off with the most dramatic win of the season on Monday night.

The Steelers, undeterred by the game's final seconds or past results, edged the San Diego Chargers 24-20 on a risky play call as time expired.

Pittsburgh had the ball at San Diego's one yard-line while trailing by three and just five seconds remaining.
