An MVP in every sense of the word
Ready or not, here it comes:
NOV. 14: SUNDAY AFTERNOON
The outcome of the game was disappointing, to be kind, being that it wasn’t a win over the 0-8 Detroit Lions, being that in the game those Lions had amassed 201 yards rushing (9.6 average) with 12:09 still to play in the third quarter and being that it had been accomplished 22 years after Barry Sanders announced his retirement.
As the afternoon wore on, the defense was depleted after both Joe Haden and T.J. Watt had been knocked out of the game with injuries, but when the team needed someone to step up and make a play, Cam Heyward, in fact, made two. Either could have been the catalyst for a comeback victory for the Steelers, had there been some appropriate support from the offense.
With 4:14 left in the fourth quarter of a 16-16 tie, the Lions faced a third-and-12 from their 11-yard line.
