Alex Highsmith Admits Cardinals’ 99-Yard Touchdown Drive Was ‘Definitely Really Deflating’ For Defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers had 1st and goal at the seven-yard line eight minutes into the second quarter. That was as good as things would get, the game tied 3-3 at the time. Two plays later, QB Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury that was addressed surgically a day later. Five minutes of game time after that, the Arizona Cardinals flipped the script.

The defense forced a stop at the goal line on fourth down, and the offense proceeded to march down the field in stops and starts, finally finding the end zone and securing a lead that they would never relinquish.
