The Black and Gold: Pittsburgh Steelers (Madden 15)

[DmX0rZ]

First half highlights:

• Very windy day in Pittsburgh. This had to be taken into account when choosing the side of the field.
• Ryan Allen had a very short punt but lucky for him the ball bounced pretty far and Antonio Brown was not able to take advantage of that.
• Both defense had trouble getting pressure on the QB in this first half
• The first two drives by the Steelers ended with a TD.

Second half highlights:

• An costly penalty from Donte Whitner on Heath Miller almost cost the Browns this game, the Steelers were deep in their end and this would have given the Browns some good field position for a potential comeback.
• Nonetheless they managed to stop the Steelers and get the comeback...
• Joe Haden picked Big Ben with the game tied at 24 and managed to return the ball in good field position with just over a minute to play.
