Roethlisberger Explains Last Two Dubious Play Calls During Final Drive

With 1:08 left in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game against the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger connected with wide receiver Antonio Brown with a deep pass down the right sideline for a gain 34 yards. At that point, the Steelers offense was just on the outer limits of field goal range and with 1:02 left on the clock it was probably assumed by many that three consecutive running plays would be called and executed in order to not only gain a few extra yards, but also perhaps force the Ravens to burn their two remaining timeouts.
