The CRAZIEST Way to End a Wild Card! (Steelers vs. Bengals, 2015)

there's two ways to play it go after the quarterback they've been blitzing every single play until that last play they set back so Hugh Jackson can you call the right play and get the defense to expect to get paid a man AJ McCarron a chance to win this game here's a third and seven it's down [Applause] but AJ Green goes inside what finally on the backside just as he had done in both meetings in the regular season Green is in the endzone tonight against the Steelers good job and also what happened that time did you see AJ McCarron was looking to the right and it wasn't there then he comes back now they got to get the good for to go for to go for two here try to up the margin to three with a minute and 50 to play four players shift in the formation we toss over the Steelers are and denying as dangerous could have been a lateral which it was and that could have been returned as it can for a two-point conversion can you imagine that could have flipped this script to have been unbelievable deliver the quarterback with his look off made him look inside in he lost sight of a jade green that looked like it was almost pre-planned I watched a little pump fake by AJ McCarron on that replay so that was well thought out they called the right plane we just said it Hugh Jackson called the right plane and had the perfect defense to get that touchdown short kick returned opportunity for Wheaton but the Bengals haven't covered up including Smith and we've got another pushing and shoving match going on near the 35 yard line guess who's in it and he just looked like vantes perfect once again was involved [Applause] so perfect just was coming in China police things that town Steelers have all their timeouts trying to drive to get an attempt at a winning field goal Jones middle field and is intercepted in its perfect to comes away with the football he better be down because he's running the wrong way [Applause] watch what he does so 55 what a job contact he's down contact takes him to the ground there it is on the ground also yeah no question but he pulled the quarterback I thought for a moment there we gonna have a Jim Marshall moment here Diamondback of a hump nipple freak from years and years ago the old Viking [Applause] [Music] did he do it all tonight cause a lot of trouble but the sack Roethlisberger the tackles watch him as he read the quarterback he was going outside stop that hit broke back inside to get the interception awesome job his game is not over the Steelers have all the timeouts [Applause] there's Hill Jarvis to follow us out Chae Sira had it for a moment and now is picked up by cockerel let's see here they gonna rule that Hill was down I believe it's a fumble call the fumble on the play it will automatically be reviewed at 4:10 Pittsburgh oh my goodness for the change of events ear got it that was they stripped away by shazier did the elbow touch versa was the ball coming out it's coming out Mike carry no doubt about that right who's coming out I'm looking across the way Ben Roethlisberger trots onto the field this whole exchange of turnovers Pittsburgh lost five yards in 27 seconds now ahead Cincinnati just head Street pedestrian running plays and stever's would have taken all their timeouts probably would have gone for a field goal yes but you would have been somewhere that was the idea a minute Jeremy hill let the ball get ripped out of his arms in La Poste Berger throwing it all flings it over to Brian in traffic makes a nice couple of moves and picks up eight trying to drive them to put them in range for Chris Boswell [Music] [Applause] good play to test that arm out with the shoulder whatever's bothering the screen play to get him moving is where the Stroh is it completes Brown wasn't quite ready for it [Applause] defensive backs Leon Hall is now not in there either Jim so there's Hill standing alone in the very defensive stance having fumbled for the fourth time and having lost the fourth fumble of the year third and to 54 seconds Steelers still have all the timeouts Cincinnati's going to use one of its Chu that it had remaining still get it out there with some pep on it and we look at Marvin Lewis going up and down the sideline looking for that first playoff win third and two rushing three Roethlisberger lofts it trynna cats by Toussaint had to adjust and he goes out of bounds gain of seven in the first it was only their second third down conversion of the night [Applause] Papa's burger swings it over to Tucson it's a move to get around Luis Harris and near another first and Pittsburgh's got to take a timeout here but what his mother did the right thing for those football short and get him get him in this position time is still on inside here support short there isn't those have incomplete [Applause] second and ten will a Antonio Brown be a factor here under the other side come down to Brian I loco cuts him off pushes him out 32 seconds only picked up three third and seven with 32 seconds try to cross him up on the ground to sack that check top that was Michael Johnson who saved what would have in all likelihood been a first down carry yeah it would have been a first down look at the cycle Josh underground making a tackle on that is something since he's come back from Tampa Bay they lost him a free agency he's back and he's played the run better this year than he has in his career look at the opening ahead for Tucson the play collet a casaba caller is just one hand that could stop it you're right trying to catch him off guard and I think you said it 28 seconds ago they still have one timeout they added three seconds here on the clock time out Bengals final one you know don't overplay in a situation like this on the defensive side that gives the offense an opportunity to make that big play to get him into field goal range bill so concern his miscue would be the difference here praying that as defense can somehow end it right now fourth and three Roethlisberger has the first down crown to the 40 AIDS we call the timeout immediately and they did a great job little switch that time by Antonio Brown in the slot to the right side he goes inside Keith Miller goes out that calls his confusion and it gets him away from Leon Hall really well-designed play look at it and look at the sharp cut by Antonio Brown it gets him open 14 yards away from being able to put them in position that would match the season long by Boswell but you could think they if they got in 10 yards now you would have to bring him out and see if he could convert it from 55 but no timeouts [Applause] 22 seconds to go [Applause] not this burger come to Papa middlefield a cake cake does come in went to the head Lewis Harris is going to be flagged for this on the hit on Antonia brown and it's going to put the Steelers in field goal range perfect was in there to perfect it's coming across the field I saw it I thought it was him yeah I know that they both were in on the coverages at 55 or 37 personal Fowler 55 perfect in the end definitely took the shot to the head you could see alive Marvin Lewis before this drive started was talking on the sidelines the whole time it seemed like to bond to or perfect and yes oh my goodness Brown is still down that's of course flagrant but before this drive started Marvin Mills was on the sidelines with the but he controlled his emotions when he went back out on the field you know I don't think that's that message resonated as much as Marvin tried Browne is on his feet and now there's a little flare up again if an official just got pushed and now that this is just a penalty against Cincinnati it is going to make this a chip shot field goal and lose her season over perfect thinks it might be against Pittsburgh push his own coach whoa you know listen Jim this call was huge because it's going to have everything to do with this field goal attempt well it's wholly huge but it's sad I mean we knew coming into the game that anything you did was gonna be watched closely and the officials John Perry they've tried to keep control of this game personal foul defense number 24 15-yard penalty first down Adam Jones [Applause] who's Joey Porter one of the assistants he's had course back in his playing days scrapes then he got bumped no it's just can it get any worse no and it just see I don't know it's been in this all favorite places tonight yes Roethlisberger being taken off the field and it's cheering cheering the fact that he was injured have been a couple of times tonight you've wanted to use the word disgraceful and it's certainly it's it's what it is it's disgraceful it's so many funds by everybody [Music] I'm not gonna blame the efficient yeah I am not they have tried how many flights can they throw how many penalties well I'm gonna get back to the fact that this young man right here first year kicker has a chance to put the Steelers ahead with 18 seconds to go what's going to likely be a 35 yard attempt they're not going to run another play risk anything nobody has any timeouts I guess they could have in theory run a play and had a spike but they're going to go ahead and go for the kick that in all likelihood would win in the D makes it and the kick is turned and the Steelers are back ahead at 18 16 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so it all began with the he'll fumble just after perfect had made an interception that looked like it could have possibly sealed it and then the headhunting penalty called against perfect and then there's Joey Porter in the middle of things the former Steeler linebacker and there's Pacman Jones in the middle of it and he draws a a flag that makes the kick only a 35 yarder off the 15-yard penalty he try to stitch that together to try to write that story there's four or five moments here in the last minute of the game that you just shake your head you can't believe it the Bengals Marvin Lewis this game how it unfolded looking for his first playoff victory you think it's over we got [Applause] Adam Jones and he runs into Jarvis Jones attack over the 24 six seconds to go [Applause] Jones was arguing his case to Perry and all the great plays and stuff by Adam Jones and Vaughn tez perfect they had they had highlight reels here tonight in plays they made on the defensive side none of it will be remembered of course the game finale manitech she's here the Steelers have come back Roethlisberger re-entering the game and driving them with the aid of penalties to the game-winning field goal I'm gonna see what's gonna happen down here on the field as the Steelers try to hurry to the ramp up to the exit well there's a lot of debris being thrown down on the field [Applause] you

From 2011-2015, Bengals were 52-27-1 in the regular season. They've been 21-42-1 since that game.

The day Antonio Brown turned into MBC

[u/what_u_want_2_hear]

Bengals fans have suffered enough. Brown has to go as an owner.

Sam Wyche and Boomer brought success. Everything else is sub par employees performing as expected.

That fan base deserves a better owner.

Great city by the way.

Please take this down. Just please. I can’t with the excitement of drafting burrow

[u/VariousLawyerings]

Watching live, I kind of wasn't immediately paying attention at 3:12 and, aided by Nantz's commentary, didn't realize Burfict was down when he ran all the way to the other end zone in celebration. Seeing the replay and confirming he was down was probably my greatest disappointment as a sports fan.

joey porter was long retired and still mixing it up with the bengals, it was crazy

[u/2057Champs__]

Probably the second biggest implosion in football this past decade. After 28-3. How Marvin Lewis kept his job after that, I’ll never understand

2 minutes of game time, a 19 minute video.

Fuck this game. People don’t realize how critical this game was long term to the fanbase. If we win, we finally get over the hump against our biggest rival and having Dalton return the following week.

Not only the fact that we lost, but the way we lost, really fucked up the fanbase. Attendance hasn’t been the same since, fans have been incredibly apathetic since then. Doesn’t help that we didn’t cut any of the players that deserved to be cut after the game, and let key players go like Sanu, Jones, Whitworth, Reggie Nelson, there could be more that I’m missing. On top of that we Haven’t had a winning season since...

I don’t ever remember being so heartbroken after a sporting event, i literally cried myself to sleep and didn’t go to school the next day to avoid harassment from my friends. (I live in Browns/Steelers territory). What a fucking mess, if I would have known that the aftermath of that game would have been what it was then I probably woulda cried harder.
