Roethlisberger Ignites

Steelers Outpost Podcast

With the Steelers languishing for the better part of three quarters, Ben Roethlisberger places a bomb on the outstretched hands of Diontae Johnson to complete a 39 yard touchdown that sparked a 21 point explosion over the three possessions to overcome what was looking like an insurmountable deficit.

The defense was inspired by the offensive awakening, holding the Colts to 3 points and 148 offensive yards.

We talk about what was seemingly the only story of this game - Ben casting off whatever, trepidation, pain, caution he was exhibiting over the last 3.75 games and placing the team on his shoulders.

Not that the defense was waiting for a signal. Mike Hilton continued to show why we're nervous about our ability to keep him next season with an INT and 2 defended passes. TJ Watt raised the stakes in the DPOY competition, garnering 2 sacks, a forced fumble and a timely tackle that just may have saved a touchdown.

What do you think the coaches will do against Cleveland next week? Sit the vets, or try to keep an edge on?
