"Let's just chuck it deep," Roethlisberger told offensive coordinator Bruce Arians just before he threw his biggest pass of the season. "If they pick it, it will be a pick way down there, just as good as a punt. ... I just throw it as far as I can.'"

"It was kind of amazing,"
Brown said. "It kind of stuck to my shoulder."

Five plays later Rashard Mendenhall bulled his way in the end zone for the game winner.
