was watching the 2017 div game between the steelers and jags

game was filled with great eye-dropping plays from the killer B's, but they lost that game due to costly turnovers and poor defense, so its always bittersweet thinking about that game

Cowboys v Broncos. Manning and Romo were insane that game. It felt like whomever had the ball last would win. Unfortunately as time was running down, Romo got tripped by Tyron Smith as he was throwing the ball and it was intercepted. Final score: 51 - 48

Giants vs Saints Sunday Nov 1, 2015.

Defense did not show up for any team.

Final score was Saints 52 Giants 49.

Brees 39/50, 505 yards, 7 touchdowns, 0 ints

Manning 30/41, 350 yards, 6 touchdowns, 0 ints

Was one of the greatest QB shootouts I've ever watched live.

And one of the best efforts from a player in a losing effort I've ever seen.

In 2012, the Steelers lost to the Raiders, 34-31. In 2014, the Steelers lost to the Buccaneers, 27-24. Here's Ben Roethlisberger's combined stat line from those two games:

65/89, 698 yards, 7 TD, 0 INT, 121.8 rating

None of it was garbage-time stat-padding either, since both games were lost as time expired.

Aaron Rodgers last game of 2012, against the Vikings.

28/40   70.0%comp   365yards   9.1ypa   4TDs   0INTs   131.8rating

Lost on a last second field goal. The type of loss that in so many ways has come to characterize our defense during AR's entire tenure: Some talent, but gives up crippling big play after crippling big play at the WORST possible moments. The entire game winning drive was essentially two plays: Facing 3rd and 11 from their own 28, Minnesota (Christian mother-effing Ponder) completes a 25 yard pass, and then a few plays later, Minnesota is juuuust within range of a tough, long FG, Peterson rips off a 26 yard run to make it a chip shot that even Blair Walsh couldn't miss.

Basically what I've come to expect from our defense this whole era.
