    Man, Steelers real good at finding WRs and Big Ben gets them the ball. Minus that Sweed pick, they've drafted Wallace, Holmes, and Brown all "recently" right?

    Brown is so shifty.

    Al with one of the calmest 108 yard kickoff return calls

    I was just about to post this. That was very nearly tied for the longest play in this league's history and he didn't even say a word until he was at the 20 yard line.

    Martavis Bryant looks like a steal too

    reminds me of ernie johnson during the royals/a's play in game

    just a horrible job

    worst call of a 108 yard kick return in the history of the NFL

    Michaels just kept talking matter of factly as if nothing noteworthy was happening

    Ravens should have gone for 2.
    You don't get it, it's 13 which is 2 TDs.
    You get it, it's 3+8.
    You kick the XP, it's 12 which is 2 TDs.

    Unless you believe you are getting the ball 3 more times to go 3,3,7 and 12 vs 13 is a big difference then.

    Michaels gambles a lot and sometimes talks about it on the air.

    Could be he bet Steelers or the under. But you'd still expect some emotion even if he's losing.

    Yeah, I think he's the best receiver in the game today - he can destroy you in the kick return game too.

    That felt like that SB QB sneak where Big Ben didn't look close but got the call

    the review was blown, roofiesberger was short

    he just got it but only because he moved the ball forward after he was clearly down

    so if it's JUST there AFTER he moves it a foot, then he was CLEARLY short

    Big Ben and Phillip Rivers on pace to have their best career years. Obviously still half a season to go, but incredible half seasons from them.

    Good for them.

    I think Michaels and Collinsworth were talking about different Smith just now

    one talking Torrey, the other Steve

    cameras went to Steve

    Michaels cited Torrey's stats

    truth is, a field goal there makes it a 2 possession game

    I never understood how it's not a penalty for the receiving team to knock the kickoff out of bounds

    “you get a field goal, a touchdown, a two point conversion, and you’re right there.” Sounds easy enough AL with less than 3 minutes left. lol
