The Steelers coaches each season always seem to have a trick play stashed away for that opportune moment. Chuck Noll used them, as did Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin.

Whether it be Antwan Randel-El hitting Hines Ward on a long touchdown pass in the Superbowl, Terry Bradshaw’s flea Flicker pass to Benny Cunningham or, Ben Roethlisberger’s fake spike against Dallas. When they work fans, love them; when they do not work, fans want the coach who called the play fired.
