Misery Index · Miserable
Steelers fans toasting a Baltimore road win through clenched teeth, still litigating the Jesse James catch a decade.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Highsmith's strip-sack of L.Jackson at the PIT 38 with nine seconds left is the only reason this isn't a different conversation, because the previous drive featured a 33-yard Z.Flowers catch over the middle that put Baltimore in business. A.Rodgers to J.Warren for 38 and the D.Metcalf 52-yard shot kept the offense afloat, but a five-point win that needed a fourth-quarter sack to survive isn't exactly steadying anyone's blood pressure. First place, somehow.
