Sometimes there’s a moment in a game so inexplicable in how it turned out that it transcends the actual results of the game. In spite of the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers actually defeated the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, so much of the talk is still about Pittsburgh’s decision to run a fake field goal late in the first half, which resulted in kicker Chris Boswell suffering a concussion.
Even the Browns don’t understand exactly why they ran the play, as special teams coordinator Mike Priefer talked about with the Cleveland media earlier today, noting that the Steelers’ motioning of their end man on the left side to the right side was a dead tell.
