The 2009 season was one filled with inconsistent play and heartbreaking last-second losses for the Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off of a sixth Super Bowl victory the year before.
Heading into Week 15 of the 2009 season, the Steelers were riding a four-game losing streak that saw them fall to 6-7 to that point in the year. It wasn’t going to get much easier with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers riding into town for a primetime showdown at Heinz Field.
Fortunately, the Steelers had Ben Roethlisberger on their side.
Opening up the Week 15 showdown, the Steelers struck quickly as Ben Roethlisberger found Mike Wallace from 60 yards out just 40 seconds into the game, staking the Steelers to a 7-0 lead.
