of the first down. so they take their final time-out here. clearly a first down on the next play would end the game. nothing else, they'll be able to take 40 seconds off the clock. steeler defense, 483 yards given up to night but no touchdowns. >> cris: yeah, that's when you go home and you feel queasy to your stomach when you're an offense and put up those kinds of numbers. and then you turn around and look at the scoreboard. you see a 15. that feels like it's impossible. >> al: as we say, third most yardage. they get the ball back. they can even add to that. that could be the most ever by the time this one is over. so third down and one. comes down to a stop. going affect the end of the game

for pittsburgh with a first down. shovel pass. and that's a first down. smith-schuster. he does it again. he picks up first down. they can run that clock all the way down to a 6-2 record and a very happy by week upcoming for a team that will play five of the last seven games in the friendly confines of heinz field. >> cris: this is brilliant. antonio brown going this way. look at how wide le'veon bell is here. everybody is thinking going out here and then you shovel pass it back inside. that is an ace call. i'm going to guess that may have been one of their two point conversion plays. they needed it most. but when they needed it most had nothing to do with two points. there you go. there is what it feels like when you played like that and you're going throes a game. >> al: yeah. and some laundry.

probably some fines. peacemaker tomlin coming out. >> cris: there was a lot going on. but it looks like pouncey delivered a blow to the chops of one of the defensive linemen. >> referee: after the play was over, personal foul, defense, number 91. that player is ejected for throwing a punch. thip is robinson. punched ramon foster. and that gets him ejected. >> cris: there's a punch. but two punches by pouncey was a lot better. i promise you. boom. he didn't have his fist closed. but it was a shot.

meanwhile, they can start the clock here is what it amounts to. signal ready for play. even if they don't, they'll have to run two plays because take 40 off the clock here. one more snap coming up. >> cris: it wasn't ben's best night. but when he had to have a play. he came up with that huge throw to juju smith-schuster. and his defense in the red zone won the football game. mike tomlin had to love watching his red zone defense make play after play after play tonight to win it. >> al: no question. he said we've seen enough. we don't have to run that one more play which would have a second left on the clock. teams will head to the locker rooms. steelers will head to a mini vacation.
