This Thanksgiving weekend against the Steelers was a dramatic turn of events for the Bills. This game marked the the break of their two-game winning streak and a humbling play for Johnson, in particular. He could’ve ended this game with a win for Buffalo on the previous possession but dropped what would have been a 40-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick.
“I had the game in my hands and I dropped it,” Johnson said. “Humbled. Humbled.” Then, growing emotional, Johnson added: “I’ll never get over it. Ever.”
Even with dominating the first half, out gaining the Bills, 225-51, the Steelers held just a 13-0 lead. Roethlisberger scrambled for 18 yards on third-and-17, and dove for the first down in the fourth quarter. All of this while suffering with a sprained foot at the end of the first half.
That play helped Suisham put the Steelers back on top, nailing a 48-yard into the wind with only 6:19 left.
In addition to the lead of 16-13, The Steelers got an amazing defensive play from Troy Polamalu, who dove at the goal line for an interception after Fitzpatrick’s pass bounced off Johnson’s fingertips with 2:51 left. This marks the fourth interception for this season alone.
“He made significant plays; timely plays,” said Tomlin. “That’s what we expect of him.”
