Click timestamps to jump to that momentSteelers were only down four points in
the fourth quarter of their game. So, we
were looking at another potential
awesome finish here. But the Texans
said, "No, we'll take the ball and we'll
get a big man touchdown and we'll put
this whole thing to bed." And that's
what they did at the start of it. This
shot of the coaches running like just
like, you know, childhood best friends
celebrating in the in the front yard on
the sidewalk. It is very cute. It's a
very cute shot of all the coaches
running. Go B6. Go. It's cute shot. You
have to admit it. It's a cute shot of
the coaches all hanging out. Rogers got
his helmet twisted on him and then the
ball comes out.
Out of breath, but smiling. Rogers
thinking, "H probably no, not good."
Look at this little stutter step and
then just tosses his man down. Watch.
Let's go back. What he does is he throws
the shimmy right here and as su and then
gets the footwork all botched. Steelers,
he's on both feet flatfooted and he just
pushes him back like sumo. Both feet
stay again, but he's he's not in a
stable position. Just goes down and
then, you know, he didn't really get the
the strip, but he would have got the
sack maybe. Anyway, he saw the open
ball, runs it down. You know what?
Here's him talking about he's like I was
like got it. Threw him down and I'm like
oh after I get the sack I see the ball
and I'm where is it? Where's give me
that? Give me that. Grab it and then I
run and his teammate next to him is just
getting oxygen and like nice dude. Nice.
And here you go. Okay. So did the move.
I threw him down and then I get the sack
and after the sack see the ball. I'm
looking where's it? Where's it? Where's
it? I grab it and then run. It's a great
retelling of the story. Steelers fans,
they didn't feel good after it. They
were hands on face. Tomlin was, you
know, taking in his final looks. Rogers
was taking in his final looks. And, you
know, a nice a nice wave goodbye.
Goodbye. You guys are retiring and
leaving. Won't be here anymore.
