How close was the late interception to being a safety?
I think there's some allowance for a player's momentum taking him into the endzone after an interception. If he had flopped right to the ground could he have avoided going into the endzone?

If it had turned into a safety, the Steelers still would have almost definitely won.

We need to talk about wee Heyward. Unless teams ignore him? He struggles to get any separation. He is at best a bit player and yet? Heyward is getting a bunch of targets. I realise Washington is raw but his catch radius alone makes him a better target. It feels like there is always one player in the offense that is getting too many touches or too many targets. I hoped once Tomlin's pet was released it would abate but no it seems Heyward has stepped right into to fill that role. Deeply frustrating.

I tell you Kenny looked terrible last night and Canada had he usual stupid calls. Maybe they are. Both the issue

That pass to Austin hit him in the hands and the stomach and he still somehow dropped it.
1. I never saw a clear replay to tell if that hit Austin or the DB's hands first, and neither did you.
2. It isn't tough for any WR to come to a complete stop and cut back inside and drop to the ground to catch a poorly thrown pass that needs to be dropped in a bucket over your shoulder.

It was a shit ball.
Yeah I thought live the defender got a hand to deflect. Ball was about five yards short. But Kenny defenders will ball wash.
The ball popped up because the safety was trying to catch it

Austin’s hands came through

The safety had the best chance to catch that ball

Don't have Prime and a neighbor who is a Ravens fan, had us come over to watch.

When DJ scored I said "The D will hold them, then the O will go 3 and out and it will come down to the last few seconds in the red zone. That's they way Tomlin wants it and he's lovin' this shit."

Wish I didn't know this team so well - They'll eventually give me a heart attack.
Exactly right, Bar!! Exactly right. And....this year...so far....it's working.

Heyward is a bit of hold your breath is he going to make it player. I get a bit nervous watching him…but he really hasn’t disappointed.

Washington’s catch I held my breath and realized there is nobody stopping him. He got to the first down marker without even really trying. They need to get him more touches.

Apparently KC has better eyes than the rest of us when he can prove his QB threw a tremendous ball. Easy throw that Kenny butchered.

We get it. You like KP. It's ok to be a realist and realize there's a LOT of room for improvement.
😂

I’ve never said Pickett doesn’t need to improve. He does. A lot.

Dude is easily the best QB on the roster and has a knack for coming up big when it matters most. He needs to play a lot better in the first three quarters for sure and I have a lot of hope he will.

As for the throw to Austin I’ve said 25 times it was under thrown, but when a ball hits a receiver in both hands AND in the stomach, how about you turn a bad throw into a good catch? Happens all the time on other teams. I watch receivers snatch balls that are waaaaay behind them, under thrown and whatever else. Not the idiots on this team. If it isn’t perfectly thrown or damn close to it, they ain’t catching it.

Outliers take more time to get acclimated to the NFL
