Steelers wake up from Indy nightmares with vintage Ben Roethlisberger

INDIANAPOLIS -- Scrambling, bracing for a hit, Ben Roethlisberger steps up and floats a pretty, off-balance touch pass to Antonio Brown, who whips his way across the field and into field goal range in the final seconds.

Game sealed, Chris Boswell for 33 yards as time expired. Roethlisberger looking like Big Ben, at least for a moment, adding a 69-yard, game-winning scoring drive to his personal record books.

Nothing else about this ugly performance was that pretty. Much of it was pretty ghastly, actually. But the Steelers showed serious resolve with a 20-17 win over Indianapolis, overcoming a 14-point deficit for the third time since last season, an NFL record.
