A last second touchdown won a match in the National Football League last night
Bell ran for 111 yards in the game. Bell, a tough guy to tackle, made several impressive runs while piling up 89 yards in 14 carries in the first half.
Caldwell said it’s just one game and he thinks Stafford is more than capable of straightening things out. Once again, Bell got the call. I was thinking we still have a timeout left, so I’m thinking, ‘OK, maybe if I get stopped, maybe run like 4 seconds off and get a timeout and we could kick a field goal.
“Le’Veon gave us an opportunity to win, and we were trying to do everything we could to move the football”, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin said. Bell’s winning touchdown came with no time remaining on the clock. “It was time to go to the mattresses”.
The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a gutsy play against the San Diego Chargers.
During the pregame warm-up period before Monday night’s game, Roethlisberger was out in the middle of the field, wearing his knee brace, and gently dropping back and throwing 20-yard passes to Martavis Bryant.
On the final drive, Vick was only 4-for-8 for 54 yards, but as time was running down he found his own tight end, Heath Miller, for 16 yards down to the one.
“I (saw) the line, so once I saw the goal line, I just kind of tried to reach the ball over”.
Still, the QB deserves far more pats on the back than criticism for his play. “But it isn’t, and shoot, we’ve got no time to mope around and feel sorry for ourselves because the place we’re going next week, it’s going to be an even tougher challenge”.
“It’s not how you start”.
The Chargers seized a seven-point lead with eight minutes to play on Gates’ second touchdown reception.
The San Diego Chargers should be embarrassed, and with a 2-3 record against the teams that they have faced, they deserve the talk that they’re already out of the playoff race behind the 5-0 Denver Broncos. “Obviously it wasn’t ideal….” Hats off to him for his performance late to quiet the critics (including myself). Rivers would complete his first 8 passes of the contest but penalties and constant pressure by the Steelers defense would hold the Chargers offense at bay after that initial touchdown drive.
The Pro Bowl tight end, who missed the first four games while serving a PED suspension, caught passes on the first two snaps for the Chargers. He has caught nine passes for 228 yards this season.
Rivers threw for 365 yards and two touchdowns to Gates and led a go-ahead drive that put San Diego (2-3) up 20-17 with 2:56 remaining after Lambo’s 54-yard field goal. They took a brief 10-7 lead later in the third quarter on Antwon Blake’s 70-yard interception return – the third pick-six Rivers has allowed this season, only to see the Chargers tie it 10-10 on Lambo’s 40-yard field goal three plays into the fourth quarter.
