James Pierre was almost the Steelers hero for the second straight game

What got lost amid all the review-gate, extra-spike-gate and all the other gates that took place as the Seahawks were desperately trying to tie Pittsburgh at the end of regulation last Sunday night at Heinz Field was the remarkable clutch play that cornerback James Pierre made...again.

That’s right, and even as the loose football was briefly bouncing around the turf of Heinz Field, don’t think I didn’t immediately take note of the fact that Pierre was about to be the game-saving hero in a second-straight Steelers victory. Just one week earlier, Pierre saved the day when he intercepted Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from the two-yard line with mere seconds left.
