The Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday win over the Minnesota Vikings included several key plays on both sides of the football, but there seems to be one that was made by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Martavis Bryant that isn’t being talked about.
With 7:32 left in the third quarter and Pittsburgh leading Minnesota 17-9, the Steelers offense faced a 3rd and 12 at their own 25-yard-line. A failed conversion on that down would have resulted in the Steelers punting the football back to the Vikings, whose offense seemingly had a little bit of momentum at that time being as they had just scored their first touchdown of the game on their previous possession.
