This game could end 3-0 and surprise no one.

This game could end 17-14 and surprise no one.

This game could end 41-38 and surprise no one.

This game could end 55-0 and surprise no one.

Inconsistent is a good way to put it!

The only thing I can even try to trust in this game is Primetime Kirk Cousins finding a way to lose.

So that's why I'm on Pittsburgh.

I feel weirdly good about the Vikings here. Nearly took them with +3.5 for Level 8 but yeah.

This feels like a game Minnesota should win and it's in primetime.

That's like, a double "do not trust"

This looks like the Steelers defense that showed up to the Bengals game.

And the announcers are already insulting it.

Good sign!

This isn't about Ben. This is about a defense that, for the second time in 3 games, didn't bother showing up to the game.

It took 3 Minnesota drives for the announcers to start insulting how bad their defense has looked this game.

Minnesota has a good offense though, especially with Cook in the lineup. I figured they'd be able to move the ball. I have no such faith in the Steelers offense.

Honestly last week was probably more about how actually bad the Ravens are. I turned this game off at 16-0.

This game is gonna end by 40.

The Steelers have more time of possession and 200 less yards. That's how quickly the Vikings are scoring.

what are the odds Ben just retires at halftime
With the way his O-Line has played it might be a safety decision!

Or not.

Seriously though, Minnesota's not going to blow a 29 point lead in 16 minutes... They'll do enough to make you think they might.\

But really, you know a team's laid a giant egg when they've scored two TDs in 3 minutes, have possession again, and their chances of winning have barely increased at all.

When you have all this momentum rolling all of a sudden, I think you go for 2 here so you know what you still need to put up.

I'm a big fan of going for two in the down 9 points scenario most of the time to begin with.

There aren't a lot of scenarios where it significantly changes anything if you miss it in the first place.

I get it, particularly given it was a two play drive, both big plays, and you can hope you catch them shellshocked but personally I think I'd rather kick the PAT in this particular instance just to apply scoreboard pressure on the Vikings by making it a one score game. I actually think that plays into the momentum better by getting in their heads.

I generally try to evaluate these things on a case-by-case basis and I just felt PAT was the better move there given the flow of the game. It also happens to be the "conventional wisdom" call the NFL tends to live by so I was just taken by surprise that the Steelers departed from it there is all.

If you've wondered who the most average QB in the league is, I think we've arrived at an answer.
