Al so mike tomlin down by nine. His squad trailing tonight. And next sunday, patriots. Last four games between the pats and the steelers. Back at gillette in 13. Pats beat them 2821. At gillette in 15. In 16 here patriots won 2716. In the afc championship game pats won that one 3617. Last season. So new england has had the steelers number. As we pointed out earlier, in terms of the standings, if pittsburgh goes to 103, jacksonville is 94, so they are hot on their tails here as new england awaits tomorrow nights game, the monday nighter in miami. Flag is thrown. Toussaint runs the kick back to the 27 yard line. And walt colemans crew has had a busy second half. Referee offside. Number 51 of the kicking team. The fiveyard penalty will be added on to the end of the play. First down. Al we go to michele. Michele busy Fourth Quarter for the athletic training staffs. Vance mcdonald out with a shoulder injury and ravens wide receiver chris moore questionable with a hip he suffered on the kickoff return. He has not been back in the game, al. Al moore had the first touchdown of the night for the ravens, and mcdonald has been a key part of the roethlisberger attack. Catching four for 52 yards. So a couple of significant guys are out as this drive begins from the 32. Dump pass. Bell. Hell get wrapped up at the 37 yard line. Cris suggs good outside. Maybe even better inside move. Right around hubbard. Roethlisberger going to get that ball out even quicker. Ill tell you, leveon bell took a pretty good shot at the end of that play too. Al took a shot in the first half, had to come out for a few plays. Second down and five. Roethlisberger. Deep down the middle. Brown. To the 40 yard line. Just amazing how he just he finds the open space, in amongst a quartet of white jerseys. Picks up another big first down. Thats 23 yards. Cris safety over the top and the other safety to the middle of the field. Everybody knows where its going to go. But al, zone defenses cannot handle a quarterback sitting in the pocket for four seconds. I dont care what kind of zone you are playing, it will break down. Thats what ben has taken advantage of. Al throwing to number 84. Nine catches tonight for 168 receiving yards. An brown again. Covered by carr. Tacks on 11 more. Cris well, they have thrown a. B. A ton of passes this year. And he has i think two drops on the season. Out of 115 targets. Something like that. Just a remarkable, remarkable season. Al leads the league in receptions and in receiving yards. Putting up big numbers again tonight. Roethlisberger. Has that deflected. At the line of scrimmage. Second down with 4 48 remaining in the fourth. Bell and brown from scrim scrimmage. Tune in and look at that graphic. If you are a ravens fan you think youre getting killed. Cris especially if youve watched your offense all year. But this is backtoback games now. Tonight, 38, 44 last week. Al mmhmm. Dump pass again to bell. Bell, tried to get to the 20 yard line, which would be a first down. And it is. Meanwhile, roethlisberger tonight has thrown for 435 yards. 39 of 57. First down at the 20. Clock ticking down to 4 15. Roethlisberger. Over the middle. This time its eli rogers. And he is close to a first down. Theyll spot the ball at the 10 yard line. Or just shy of it. So they dont pick up the first down. It will be second down and inches. Cris well, they want to leave those two deep safeties in there, but the automatic throw in those cases is just the checkdown. Theyve gone screaming down the field with checkdowns now. Al second down and one. Roethlisberger, throws his 59th pass of the game. And thats incomplete. Thats the most he has ever thrown in a single game. Intended for jesse james. Its third down and inches. Cris just off. Thats really a free play. At this point in the ball game, conceivably you could kick a field goal if you didnt get it here. I am sure ben was thinking, we dont get it on second down, well come back here and get it on third down. Al third down at the 11. Bell. Hell find it. And more. Touchdown third touchdown of the night for leveon bell. Two on the ground, one through the air. So 3835. Theyll settle for the single point here. To make it a twopoint game. Cris what a game what a game. Al crazy boswells extra point is good. 74 total points in the game. Cris i am going to use great twice. One for Chris Hubbard, the right tackle, and one for the patience of leveon bell. Watch hubbard stay after it, stay after it, drive him all the and leveon bell taking full advantage of it. Look at that. Staying on it pretty amazing. A backup tackle can fill in the way that Chris Hubbard has this season. Boy, its been one of those, hasnt it . It is just one of those. And now you get two exhausted defenses. Al well, the four bs right there. Ben at 444. Bell, great night. Three touchdowns. Brown, 10 catches, 179. Boswell, perfect again. Campanaro is back to receive th3 mira lo de Antonio Brown and the ravens will get the ball at the 25 yard line. So you have 3 30. If you are mike tomlin, you have to think about, where do i want to use the timeouts. He has all of them. You want to use them on the front side. You would think baltimore will run the ball. But who knows these days. See what harbaugh and mornhinweg have dialed up. If theyre going to keep it on the ground, you think tomlin would think about using them on this side of the twominute warning. They have four stoppages able. Cris if i am keith butler, i am not letting alex collins beat me. Joe flacco can beat me throwing the ball, so be it. No way collins is beating me. Al starting with flocko. Going to the sideline. Pittsburgh says well take it. Maclin is covered by cameron sutton. Second down and ten. Cris theyre lurking, sean davis, seven or eight yards off the ball. On run plays he will step down into the box and make the plays. The first down incompletion makes it a whole lot easier now. Al changes your timeout strategy if you are pittsburgh. Second and ten. Collins. Gets thrown down. At the 31 yard line by mike mitchell. So it will be third down, third and four. Cris they just keep pounding that same play. They pulled james hurst around from the back side. I might be tempted to give it to him again. Al yep. Cris he has been the difference maker in the game tonight, whether you throw it, whether you hand it to him. The edges, and right now theyve got alex collins flanked out in the slot. Al big, big play. You pick up a first down, you change the whole timeout dynamic for pittsburgh here. Third and three. Fake there. The ball is tipped. And the pass is incomplete. Intended for maclin. Ball tipped at the line of scrimmage. And it will be fourth down. Cris yeah. I think thats one of the rpo plays, run pass option. Bring them back into the backfield. Offensive line looks like theyre blocking for a run. If flacco likes it, he can pull the ball down and make the throw to the slant. But tuitt almost intercepted it. And now you have an exhausted defense that will have to hang on for their life. Al send eli rogers back to run the kick back. Koch is a magician. He knows what to do with it to get it to the sideline. Great kick. Crowd wants a flag. Theyre not going to get one. 2 25. Cris we would call in a yank hook. Its part of the repertoire of sam koch. He lines it to the right and swings the leg around. He has about 13, 14 different kicks, knuckleballs, all kinds of things. He just pinned the steelers right into the corner. Now, here comes ben roethlisberger, a field goal away. Al fabulous kick. Not only does he not allow a run back because he puts it right on the sideline. 49 yards. 2 25 remaining. Cris that was a painful offensive series, though. Al it was. Cris two incomplete passes. Didnt make them burn any timeouts. You cant blame them for being aggressive, you just cant. Except for the way they were running the football. Thats all i was thinking. Al ben from the 17. Twopoint game. Here comes the blitz. Roethlisberger. He is going to go down. Youve got suggs is the first guy who comes in. Meanwhile, secondary did its work as well because they brought the house that time. Nineyard sack. Cris somehow its only appropriate. We havent talked about suggs very much at all tonight. Then, when the game is on the line, as it often is between these two teams, you see number 55. Al they get the play off before the twominute warning. To the 13yard line that pass goes. And it will be third down and 14. The ageless one, suggs, with the big sack. In a twopoint game in pittsburgh. Its too quiet in this room, i need noise al right after the game. Volkswagen postgame report. Michele on the field with the got a few guys to choose from. Mike tirico breaking down the playoff picture. Cris and i look ahead to next sundays matchup out in oakland volkswagen postgame report coming right up. Cris star of the game depending on who wins. This is tough. Now you have the two big guns. Dean pees i know is going to try and take away Antonio Brown. What do you do, then, with leveon bell. Al what do you do if you dont gain a yard here. I think you have to punt, too deep in your own territory. First things first. Third and 13 from the 14. Safeties drop back deep. Roethlisberger throws. Caught for a first down by jesse james. Up at the 31 yard line. Huge play clutch. 17 yards. Go figure this one. Plenty of time. Roethlisberger. And thats juggled. Caught. James. Up to the 36 yard line. James tonight has now caught ten for 97 yards. Cris they are showing the double linebacker blitz in there. They call it a doublea blitz. The linebackers are turning and flying out of there, and the tight ends are running right behind them. Al roethlisberger to the near sideline. Incomplete. Intended for bryant. Covered there by brandon carr. Third and five. 3 c3 porque solto la pelota. Deep down the right sideline Antonio Brown he is amazing. Beats carr on the play. Brown, 213 receiving yards tonight. Cris watch the physical play by brown about seven yards off the ball. Right there they try to get a jam. He releases from it. And what do you do . There has never been a wide receiver named mvp of the league. But he has to be in that conversation. He has to be. Al year after year. Roethlisberger has now thrown for 506 yards. The ball is at the 30. Referee timeout. Al pittsburgh takes a timeout. Referee 30second timeout. Al so you have the raven defense, so good, theyve given up 543 yards tonight, but they and roethlisberger, as you see, first player in the history of the league, three games of 500 or more passing yards. Three of the last four games have been won by the steelers on a walkoff field goal by that man, including two weeks ago, we saw him do it in indianapolis. Big comeback against the colts. He did it here. 53yarder on a sunday night two weeks ago against green bay. And did it monday in cincinnati. And right now, he is in range. From the 30. Bell. Hopping, skipping. Picking up three to the 27. Cris now the ravens have to start taking the timeouts. Al they have two. They had to spend one early in the third quarter. And they will ke here. Boswell last year, you might recall, won a playoff game in kansas city by kicking six field goals. For 18 points. Cris so strange, though, wasnt it . Last week in cincinnati, he kicks the gamewinning field goal. Remarkable comeback from 17 points down. There was zero celebration going off the field. Everybodys thoughts were with ryan shazier. And he was so clutch. Al they sure were. It was an incredible comeback, all Things Considered with what went on that night, down 170. Tonight, this game has gone back and forth. 56 seconds, second down and eight at the 28 yard line. Ben. Throwing offbalance off his back leg. And incomplete. Intended for grimble. Third and eight. Thats beneficial to the ravens here because, if you bring in boswell, baltimore has that one timeout. And their kicker is pretty good too on the other side. Cris ill tell you what, brandon carr on that one almost found a way to go get that football. That was one of those you throw it up. But brandon carr turned the dash. I was like, uh oh. Now the extra timeout looks a heck of a lot better. Doesnt it . Al no question. Third and eight. Right now a 46yard field goal. Roethlisberger. Puts it down. He is almost sacked. The pass is off the fingertips of rogers. So 46 seconds. Baltimore still has its timeout. If boswell is able to kick it through, the ravens still have a decent amount of time and one timeout. Cris oh, my goodness. Roger was wide open coming across the field. The pressure from bowser got there before ben could get the ball to him. Look at that. He has all the space in the world. Just could not get it off. Al this a 46yard attempt. To give pittsburgh the lead. Cris clutch al again. 3938. Some drive by the steelers. They converted third and 13 from their own 14 on the 17yarder to jesse james. That was huge. Brown makes the catch deep downfield. And its a onepoint game with pittsburgh in front and 42 seconds. Cris if they had chosen to, they could have been the field goal, timeouts gone and clock gone at that point. Al no question. And we know what the ravens have on the other side in justin tucker. We saw him kicking it from 60 yards plus in pregame warmups. So it takes one good pass, one good timeout and a long field goal. Al flacco tonight has thrown for 255. Collins has had a big night. Theyre going to the air, no question, with 42 seconds. And boswell to send it down. To campanaro. No return. Have it at the 25 yard line. Sha cris absolutely plenty of time with that timeout. Al tucker. Hopeful of getting that chance. To win the game. Cris this guy has a career long of 61 yards. 5 of 7 from 50 plus. Al flacco no stranger to gamewinning drives at heinz field. He has done it three times. From the 25 yard line. Cris they jumped. Al there was a flag because they jump the. Maclin, who cant make the catch at the 42 yard line. But there was action in the ravens backfield. Cris yeah. The tight end playing fullback jumped up. Al maclin pays the price. He is on the ground hit by fort. Referee illegal motion. 46, offense. Penalty is declined. Second down. Al that was boyle in motion. More from walt. Referee timeout. Baltimore. Injury inside two minutes. Cris made him go in motion. And thats the foul. Al so good to see maclin get up and walk off under his own power. Al thats the last baltimore timeout. Moore is hurt. Maclin comes off. They still have wallace. Campanaro is their other wideout. So they are playing with a short deck right now. Cris look at the pittsburgh bench. Thats insane here. Al second down and ten. They had to take that timeout because they had to get maclin attended to on the field. Now flacco throws. And thats caught by wallace. And wallace gets up to the 38. Now theyve got to get up there and spike it as fast as they n. Cris save the timeout. Al 39. They dont have a timeout. They had to use it because of the maclin injury. Cris right. Al that forced them to use the timeout. Didnt want to but they had to. Now youve got 29 seconds. Now maclin comes back into the game, but no timeouts. You have to get it into field goal range and either get out of bounds or leave yourself enough time to spike it and give tucker a chance to maybe win it. Second down and ten. Cris probably at least 17 yards from here to have a legitimate shot. Al flacco. And that one does he catch it inbounds . It is maclin. No just out of bounds. He wants them to make them review it. Anyway because its inside two minutes. Its third down. Cris he is going to step out, i am pretty sure. Al yep, yep. Cris oh, boy referee the Previous Play will be reviewed. Al pretty obvious on that shot right there. So that took about six seconds. You are down to 15. Cris ooh. Now it gets really dicey, if you are not working the sideline, as to whether or not you can get up and clock it. Al you got a third and ten, you cant throw anything short really. Not enough time. Crowd sees what you just saw, so they know that this is going to be upheld, the ruling on the field. 3 c3 el esfuerzo fue tremendo incomplete pass. Please reset the clock to 16 seconds. 16, 16. Cris one play they hit last week was the deep over with mike wallace, which might give you an opportunity for a catch and run out of bounds. Not likely from where youre sitting here. Al almost have to get out of bounds. Flacco. Dancing away. Chased. Down he goes. And the ball is pops out of bounds. T. J. Watt gets him from behind. You cant fumble forward, so the ravens will keep it. With eight seconds. And they have one play. So you have one chance, and you have to, obviously, get a touchdown because there is not enough time to set up for a field goal. Cris one time. A strip sack is not what youre looking for. A regular sack and this game is over. Al pittsburghs first sack of the game. Referee that is the end of the game. Al they spotted the ball and then they wound the clock. So there is nothing left, even though the ball went out of bounds. Play was dead before it did. Winding the clock. Thats that. Cris they are not going to give you the benefit of the foul out of bounds. They started the clock, and the ravens werent ready for it. Al they had to take a timeout which they might have been able to use because maclin was shaken up. Crazy stuff in pittsburgh. With the steelers clinching the afc north. Baltimore still in position to get a wild card because they have an easy schedule down the stretch. Coach will tell you there is nothing easy. Go to the last play again. Clock is in here. 14. Cris so the fumble ultimately goes out of bounds. Al when they respot it, they wind it. Thats what they did at that point. Not even sure that the ravens knew they had another play at that point. Doubt it would have mattered with six seconds or whatever. Fumble forward, out of bounds. Bring the ball back. They spot it and wind the clock. That is the rule on that particular play. So coming up next it will be the volkswagen postgame report, right after these messages from your nbc station. Well its a perfect nespresso hold on a second. Orge. Mmm. [mel torme sings comin home baby] hey there. Want a lift . Where are we going . No dont tell me. Let me guess. Have a nice ride. For coffee thats a cup above . I brought you nespresso. Nespresso. What else . In a day that was as good as we have had all year, in a game as exciting as weve had all year, pittsburgh wins the afc north 3938 over baltimore. High drama, excitement and emotion start to finish with lots of ryan shazier. His helmet left on the field by the steeler players after the game. Thinking about their teammate in a hospital not far from here and has watched the drama unfold one more time with this team for the fourth game in the last five. Chris boswell field goal wins it. Delivers with a highscoring intense affair. The game balls go to who else. Killer bs for pittsburgh. Here is ben to talk about the big win and the big evening with michele tafoya. Mike, thank you. Ben, this rivalry never disappoints. Facing a defense tonight that hasnt given up a 300yard passer all season and you throw for over 500 yards against them. How do you explain that accomplishment . The line played unbelievable. Receivers caught the ball and ryan shazier was here with us tonight. Your two bs. Bell and brown. Play after play. How do you describe that . Put it into context. Theyre really, really good. Its fun. I am the luckiest quarterback in the league to have the linemen i have and to have all the weapons that i have. I know you just said shazier was with you. You had to play without him. He is your friend. He is your teammate. What do you want to tell him right now . We didnt play without him. He was out here with us. We know it. We love you, ryan. We know youre watching and rooting for us. Buddy, we love you so much. This one was for you, bud. The very beginning, first play of the game. Tackle by nix. He had the number 50 tshirt on. They all did. You hear it at the end of the game too. Images from ben roethlisberger. A night that ryan shazier was on everyones mind here in pittsburgh. Steelers are the north champs. Patriots here next week. They play at miami on the monday nighter. From the pittsburgh perspective. If they neat new england and
