Steelers Throwback Thursday: Gunslingin’ with the Green Bay Packers

Today BTSC travels back to a time when Jay-Z and Alicia Keys rules the charts with “Empire State if Mind”, Aactress Brittany Murphy died at age 32 and Avatar continued to be tops among a movie goers. Welcome to December 20, 2009.

In Steel City sports, the Steelers were the defending champs, but they were reeling. After five-straight losses, Mike Tomlin’s team was 6-7 and facing a tough 9-4 squad led by Greenfield’s Mike McCarthy.

The Pack received the opening kickoff, but went three-and-out. On the first play from scrimmage for the Steelers, the Heinz Field crowd saw them strike big for a 60-yard score.
