We had 38 yards to go and 38 seconds left with no timeouts. It's doeable yes, but at the same time we were not talking Rodgers here. This is a journeyman QB in his 2nd career start against the Steelers defense. Plus his #1 WR apparently communicated something to him during the route, then proceeded to do something different. Hard to fault a journeyman QB with virtually no experience from throwing to his #1 WR with the game on the line.
