just in: juju Smith Schuster is finally signed in..
Last year, we had the 64 greatest moments in Pittsburgh Steelers history face off in a NCAA-style tournament. This year, the theme is Steelers March Sadness — voting on the 64 worst moments in Steelers history. Over the next four days, we’ll introduce the 64 contenders.
You choose which moment moves on until we decide on the saddest moment in Steelers history. These are all on-the-field moments, except for two. To find out how some of these moments were selected, listen to our Steelers March Sadness play-in special. Now, let’s get to the bracket!
With 4:08 left in the fourth quarter, trailing 20-17, Pittsburgh still had a chance for a miracle comeback. On second down from their own 32-yard line, Neil O’Donnell threw his second and most fatal interception to Larry Brown. Two plays later, Emmitt Smith scored to make the score 27-17.
A controversial option for the Steelers March Sadness bracket, as this did not happen on the playing field, but the committee felt it deserved inclusion. Gabe Rivera had the potential to be just as successful as Dan Marino in the league, but his career was cut tragically short.
After being knocked out in the first quarter, Terry Bradshaw heroically returned to the field in the fourth, cutting Miami’s lead to 21-17. With 2:30 left in the game, Bradshaw was looking for a fourth-quarter comeback, when he threw an interception to Nick Buoniconti at midfield.
Ben Roethlisberger had another chance to play the Super Bowl hero. Trailing 31-25 with 56 seconds left, Pittsburgh faced a fourth-and-five. Big Ben couldn’t keep the drive and the dream alive, with the pass to Mike Wallace falling incomplete.
