And the quarter starts with a Steelers 1st down and a Lions offisides. Typical.
Mendenhall spins his way for 10 more yards and a 1st down. Here we fucking go...
But a false start and Avril taking down Mendenhall in the backfield leave the Steelers 2nd and 20. Really!
3rd and 15, Rottehtburrger in the gun. BLITZ! SACK! Butler with the big sack at the 32! Lions D makes a stand, forcing a punt! Let's hope the offense and Culpepper won't fuck it up.
Lions start at their own 27 with 11:52 left. And fuck it up they will, holding call on Raliola.
Inside handoff to Smith gets jack, as what few Lions fans in the crowd show their displeasure. boo!
Culpepper dumps it short to Felton, gets 3. Nice drive so far, huh?
3rd and 16, Culpepper takes a short drop, and throws it wide and short of Williams, who was short of the sticks anyway. That drive was short, and for SHIT.
Lions punt with 10:00 left, the Steelers will start at midfield.
I can feel it. The feeling this game is going to all but end, and all but end soon, as the Steelers will score on this drive. I feel it in my bones..
Maybe I spoke too soon! Averil with the SACK! Steelers face 2nd and 19!
On 3rd and 14, Rotthrerburger inb the gun...pressured...he tries to take off...SACK! Peterson catches Rotterberer from behind!
Lions will take over at the 18 with 7:55 left in the game. I guess that feeling was my arthritis telling me it's time to take a pill...
Culpepper to BJohnson...incomplete. Offense is really struggling...
Culpepper looking DEEP for Williams...overthrown...FLAG! Pass interference on Pittsburgh. Steelers doing their damnedest to get the Lions in the game.
Lions get the ball at their 45, short pass gets 5, clock running, no huddle in effect.
Culpepper to throw...throws towards a Pettigrew who wasn't looking for the ball...near pick! But there's holding on the Lions anyway.Shoot me now.
3rd and 5...Culpepper ducks under the pressure, finds Northcutt right at the sticks. 1st down! 6:00 left, clock is still running, and not in Detroit's favor.
Culpepper looks deeps, dumps it to Smith...one hand catch! Takes off, cuts across the field, and is tackled at the Steelers 25! Lions doing just enough to keep hope alive..
TO Steelers! 5:00 left.
Culpepper in the gun on 1st down...looking in the end zone...has time...Northcutt is OPEN...TOUCHDOWN LIONS!
KEEP HOPE ALIVE! Hell, I'm a sucker, I know it...and there's only a hair under 5 minutes left.
Lions will kick it deep, and hope to stop the Steelers. They get off to a good start on that, as Levy stops the retrun at the 19!
Steelers will run clock with Mendenhall, gets 8 on 1st down. Come the fuck on, get the stop!
Mendenhall stuffed for a 2 yard loss on 3nd down by Foote! 3rd and 4!
Rithwerburger short drop...throws...complete for the 1st...NO! Ball was on the turf! No catch! Lions will get the ball back with 3 minutes left, and 71 yards to go.
28-20 Steelers, 3:07 left. Lions with the ball.
Culpepper to Williams cutting inside...caught at the Lions 47! 1st fucking down!
2:57 left, clock stops as a Steeler is injured on the play...
Culpepper in the gun...it's WILLIAMS getting his feet down at the Steelers 34!
Culpepper to throw again...SHIT. Sack, and the clock is running. 2nd and 19 at the 43. Ugh.
Culpepper wants Northcutt on a post...overthrown! 2:01 left. 3rd and 19.
Culpepper still in the gun...pressured as the Steelers BLITZ...lofted to Northcutt...caught at the 21 with 1:54 left!!! FUCK YES!
2 minute warning and the Lions are in position to try and tie the game! I did not see this coming...no way, no how. But they still need to convert.
SHITSHITSHIT! Culpepper sacked at the 27, clock running...Christ Almighty.
TRIPLE SHIT! Culpepper SACKED by the blitz at the 31. Fuck me. TO Lions, 1:23 left.
SHITSHITSHIT! YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME! CULPEPPER SACKED AGAIN!
He's down at the Lions 40-fucking-6. A final TO called by a desperate Lions team, 1:18 left.
All you can say is...EPIC FUCKING FAIL BY THE LIONS OFFENSIVE LINE.
Culpepper was SNOWED under on 3 consecutive passing attempts. He didn't have a fucking chance in Hell to even look downfield. But the last sack pretty much ended the game, as the Lions will have to toss it deep and hope for the best.
4th and 34. Just call it 4th and fucking forever. Might as well hope for a Hail Mary and chuck it into the end zone. Culpepper does...there's 3 Steelers and 2 Lions at the goal line, and the Steelers bat the ball down.
1:09 left, Steelers get the ball on downs. Game over man, game over.
Steelers will take a knee from here on out.
Game. Steelers win 28-20.
God damn Lions. Way to toy with my fragile emotions.
Well, the Lions made it interesting, but the ending was painful all the same. The Lions, once again, as is their MO, come up woefully short in the red zone and in crunch time.
Same shit, different season, another crushing disappointment.
