It pretty much went unnoticed—and quite frankly it’s not a particularly important or significant fact—but last night, during the second quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers made NFL history by setting a new single-season mark for successful two-point conversions in a season after Ben Roethlisberger found Will Johnson in the back of the end zone.
That throw was the seventh successful two-point attempt from the Steelers this season in 10 tries. With Roethlisberger at quarterback, the team has converted seven of nine attempts in a span of eight games.
And that latter factoid is the real history, which was put on hold while the franchise quarterback was sidelined for a span of four games, during which the Steelers only attempted one two-point attempt, unsuccessfully, which was intercepted.
