Sunday’s game against the Dolphins was not your usual football game. Roethlisberger, playing only his second game since returning, went 19 for 27 for 302 yards. Just when you least expected it, Roethlisberger fumbled as he dived across the goal line on a quarterback draw.
The officials were unable to come to a decision, even after an extensive video review of who recovered the ball in the end zone. Luckily we kept the ball and kicked a field goal on the next play to beat Miami 23-22.
“I have to have clear video evidence of the team recovering the fumble,” Steratore said after the game. “It is a pile of bodies in there, and you don’t have a clear recovery.”
“Just a bizarre kind of play. You hate to win it that way, but you’ll take a win,” Roethlisberger said.
The Steelers (5-1) are tied with the Jets and Patriots for the NFL’s best record, though Sunday’s win could prove costly. During this game we lost three starters to injuries, including two players from their league-leading defense.
