Yes, yes it was. He does that fairly often.

Lucky? He gave it to the best RB in the league. Tomlin has balls. I love it.

Yeah we're on the 1/2 yard line let's run it in from the 7.

It was reminiscent of Les Miles.

Yeah, why not let Vick jump and stick it out there. Takes three seconds and you can still call a timeout. Running into a pile from 7 yards out is just...not smart.

Nah, they had to go for it but that playcall was risky as frick.

And with Bell's running style (very patient), going wildcat there pretty much guaranteed the game would end on that play

If they don't get it, after the OT meltdown of last week...I would not have wanted to be anywhere near Mike Tomlin's house this coming week.

They should have thrown a quick slant like the Seahawks...

Tomlin had the advantage of having Phillip Rivers on the opposite sideline.

Rivers is the anti-Christ to NFL success.

I meant to make the sacrilegious reference.

I disagree. Everyone knew Leveon was getting it regardless of the formation. Especially after their playcalls against Baltimore late last week.

Steelers had been running it well all night. I would have been furious if they passed.
