2&2 Slider To Leyritz

by the by, it was so stupid for Roethlisberger to try the fake spike run a play play. there was like 15 seconds left, of course he was going to go for the end zone. Pats weren't fooled and they only had 1 guy running a route. just stupid playcall and execution, they should have won.
Also even dumber for the route to not be a fade route. Did the WR just improvise that, or Ben signal him to run a slant? Throw the fade and it's probably complete 20%, incomplete 78%, intercepted 2%. Not so much throwing it over the middle.
Roethlisburger said he was legit going to spike it so was yelling for the team to get up quick to clock it, but then Haley started telling him through the headset to go for it. So the team didn't know that they were going for it until Rogers saw it wasn't going to get spiked so ran across the middle to give him a target and he tried to force it in. Just more evidence that Tomlin is an overrated coach, but he yells a lot while never blinking so he gets a pass.
