I was fortunate enough to attend this rainy game in Pittsburgh with my kids. Big Ben is at his best, running no huddle and calling his own plays for most of the game and torching Detroit for 367 yds and 4 TDs; 2 in the 1st quarter to Antonio Brown, and 2 in the final 5 minutes to rally the Steelers for a come-from-behind win. After Pittsburgh jumps out to a 17-3 lead, the Lions explode for 27 points in the 2nd quarter, highlighted by a pair of Calvin Johnson TD catches. But following a botched a fake FG attempt by Detroit early in the 4th quarter, Roethlisberger regains the lead for Pittsburgh after a marathon 17-play, 97-yd scoring drive, capped by a short TD pass to Will Johnson to give the Steelers a 30-27 edge with 4:46 remaining. Will Allen picks off Matthew Stafford on Detroit’s next possession, and Roethlisberger immediately pump-fakes and lofts a 20-yd TD to WIDE open Jerricho Cotchery to seal the victory, extending the Lions' streak of not winning in Pittsburgh to 58 years.
