As Mike Tomlin sat down and started to talk about the very strange but almost hypnotic MNF game that took place between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears on Monday night, that is, on the 8th of November, 2021. Tomlin looked panicked as he actually started to bring in the major turning points in this highly competitive match that ended with the Pittsburgh Steelers just inching past the Chicago Bears with a 29-27 victory.

But, Tomlin was adamant when he said that the Pittsburgh Steelers really had the Chicago Bears in the game. Not really. Why? Well, because if you look at the disastrous show by the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 10 point quarter with their punt returner Ray Ray McCloud making a deficit fumble and the rookie quarterback Justin Fields using just that fumble to put in a 16 yard strike to Darnell Mooney with 1:46 left to go.

In turn, according to meta.reviews, Steelers’ rookies including Pat Freiermuth were still not all that worried. This was mainly because they still had Ben Roethlisberger on their hands and Roethlisberger had bailed the Pittsburgh Steelers out of spots tighter and worse than what they were presented with on Monday night.

“I wasn’t nervous at all,” was what Freiermuth uttered as he was able to get the team ahead by catching a couple of touchdown passes.

Ben Roethlisberger is probably the man of this match with his perfect guidance of the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry them forward by guiding them for 52 yards in 7 plays. Abetted by Chicago Bears’ twelfth penalty of this match, Ben Roethlisberger set up Chris Boswell’s 40 yard field goal with 26 seconds left to give the Pittsburgh Steelers their fourth straight after the 1-3 beginning.

Ben Roethlisberger also finished 21 out of the 30 passes for 205 yards and gave two scores to Freiermuth, proving why he is indispensable to the Pittsburgh Steelers in his 18 year long span of an illustrious career. Boswell made three field goals one after the other and the newly inducted team member Najee Harris delivered the end zone for the fifth game straight.

With all going pretty well, it came as a shock when the Pittsburgh Steelers gave away their comfortable lead score with McCloud giving up the punt in a rather stupid manner and DeAndre Houston-Carson returning 25 yards for a touchdown to pull the Bears down to three, which was frankly unnecessary.

Things turned a bit strange from then on with Bears’ player and linebacker Cassius Marsh turning vindictive in a show of taunts and getting flagged by the referee, just after sacking Roethlisberger on the third down. The call made the Steelers get their quashed ambitions up again and take a rather good 26-20 lead with 2:52 left for the match.

The rest, as you know, is history. The result has been declared but it has definitely been SOME game.
