Everyone in the country is rooting for New York and New Jersey to help them overcome the tragedies of Hurricane Sandy. However, that did not stop the Steelers from playing with all their heart against the New York Giants on Sunday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a yard to convert a fourth-and-1 from
the New York Giants' 3-yard line early in the fourth quarter, and coach
Mike Tomlin decided against a run up the middle for a first down, a pass
for a touchdown or even the easy field goal to tie the game in favor of
the backward flip to kicker Shaun Suisham.
It didn't work. And Foote was livid.
With the execution, not the call itself.
"I'm more mad we didn't execute it because we've been running that
play for about five years now! And in practice, Heath Miller comes off
and blocks me every time!" Foote told USA TODAY Sports, though he yelled
it for about half of the Steelers' locker room to hear after their
24-20 victory at MetLife Stadium.
"We finally ran it and didn't execute!"
In a more measured tone, Foote then added, "That's football."
Foote's reaction summed up the way the Steelers handled a difficult
Sunday that certainly wasn't easy for anyone รข?? the away team, the home
team or the fans.
The Giants were dealing with the worst problems, of course. Some of
their players are still without power and have suffered severe damage to
their homes because of Hurricane Sandy. Some of the fans lost their
houses but showed up at MetLife Stadium on Sunday hoping their team
could provide a reason for them to smile at the end of a long, difficult
week.
The Steelers had their own comparatively minor issues.
They had to overcome an extremely questionable call that gave the
Giants a 70-yard touchdown return on a fumble that should've been ruled
an incompletion. Their defense needed to force a stop after Tomlin's
head-scratcher of a call resulted in Suisham's easily being tackled by
the Giants' Michael Coe, who didn't rush hard off the edge as the
Steelers had hoped.
And all of this came after the Steelers flew in the morning of the
game instead of arriving a day early because the hotel they'd booked was
without power.
Again, compared to what others have been dealt, it's petty stuff. But
as it pertains to what happened between the lines, that was a tough,
gritty performance by a team that has for years prided itself on being
mentally and physically strong.
"It was one of the craziest things ever," quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger said of the day-of-game travel, "but we might be doing
that every week now, I don't know."
Said Foote, "I saw a lot of NFL superstar millionaires sleeping on
the floor pregame in the hotel (lobby) with rolled-up shirts as pillows.
But, hey, football's football. You put the ball down on the grass, and
we'll play."
That's the kind of attitude a championship team needs to have. So
when his team shows such a mentality, it's easy to see why Tomlin is
encouraged.
"We combated a lot of adversity tonight, and were able to pull it
out, particularly with a solid performance in the fourth quarter,"
Tomlin said, adding this of the failed fake field goal: "They overcame
bad coaching sometimes, and that's on me."
But Tomlin's bad coaching might've had some solid reasoning.
You see, the Steelers' defense had just forced a three-and-out that
ended with a sack of Eli Manning
on a third-and-11. On the previous
Giants' possession, Pittsburgh had held the Giants to a field goal
despite Manning & Co.'s taking over at the Steelers' 33-yard line.
Not since Andre Brown's 1-yard touchdown midway through the second
quarter had the Giants crossed the goal line.
Tomlin, who was immediately clapping for his defense to get the ball
back as soon as Coe tackled Suisham, must've had an inkling his defense
would bail him out if his gamble didn't pay off.
"Making that call?" cornerback Ike Taylor said. "Yeah, of course."
Added nose tackle Casey Hampton, "To even do something like that in
that situation when you can take the three (points) and tie it up, that
lets you know he's got a lot of faith in this defense."
And why not? In their five victories, the Steelers have given up a
total of 10 points in the fourth quarter. In their three consecutive
wins, they've given up only a field goal in the final period.
They outscored the Giants, who tied an NFL record with seven
fourth-quarter comebacks in their Super Bowl season last year, 14-0 in
the fourth quarter on Sunday.
"They're one of the best teams in the fourth quarter, and we were
probably one of the worst teams in the fourth quarter (early in) the
year," linebacker LaMarr Woodley said, referring to the combined 40
points allowed in the fourth quarters of the losses to the Denver
Broncos, Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans. "We weren't doing a great
job closing out games and playing against one of the best
fourth-quarter teams, we answered today."
A bad decision by Tomlin? Overcome. Adversity? Overcome. A 1-2 start? Overcome.
Now, here they come. The Steelers are title contenders once again.
"We're just getting back to playing sound football, we're getting
back to closing in the fourth quarter," Taylor said. "The games we lost,
we didn't find a way to finish, but we did today."
