Recently, I wrote a series about five specific plays that broke the hearts of Steeler Nation. One reader called the articles a “torture series.” Those words stuck with me. So, to prove I’m not a total black cloud over the Black and Gold fan base, I added a twist to a new series: Heart-stopping plays that did not prevent a happy ending for the Steelers and their fans.
No. 5: Seriously, thank you Stevie Johnson
No. 4: Dennis Northcutt drops the nail that would have closed coffin on Steelers
Backdrop: Jan. 5, 2003 at Heinz Field.
