00:04 All right, Mike, what did Tomlin have to say after that miracle theft of that game
00:09 against Baltimore?
00:10 Baltimore had that game in the bag.
00:13 And then the Steelers, as usual, could do nothing the entire game offensively.
00:18 I mean, just terrible.
00:20 And then out of nowhere, and again, their defense and
00:26 that pass rush, and making plays, the block recovered, the fumble,
00:32 the porter pick, the defense has saved this team.
00:35 And it is amazing that they're in first place, cuz they beat the Ravens.
00:38 And they would have the tiebreaker at this point.
00:41 They still have to obviously play a bunch of games and go to Baltimore.
00:44 >> Yeah, no doubt, and we played the pickings touchdown and
00:47 all those plays that you just rang off.
00:49 But there's another play in here, Scotty,
00:50 that Tomlin references when talking about this big win.
00:54 And that, of course, was the blocked punt for the safety,
00:57 which he really thought got him going too.
00:59 Here's Tomlin.
01:00 >> It was Steelers-Ravens, the way that it usually is in that it is a highly
01:05 contested game in recent years.
01:08 It's been controlled by the defenses, it was today.
01:11 But can't say enough about that significant play by Miles Killebrew.
01:17 Man, you block a kick in the National Football League, man,
01:21 you usually win football games.
01:22 And so obviously, that is a significant contribution.
01:26 Disappreciative of the effort.
01:29 It's good to go into the bye, man, sit in the top of the north,
01:34 particularly with all that we've been through.
01:36 >> Yeah, listen, no one could have predicted this.
01:41 That they would, honestly, cuz Mike, they're really not that good.
01:45 I mean, their offense is anemic.
01:47 And they haven't had a 400-yard game in three years.
01:52 And it's, again, another non-400 game.
01:56 Teams that don't rack up yards and points in the NFL aren't in first place, okay?
02:03 That's just all there is to it.
02:05 And we've been bashing this team, and I've been disappointed in them.
02:10 And I'm a huge Steeler fan, it is what it is.
02:13 But I cannot believe, to be honest with you, cuz I bet Baltimore yesterday,
02:16 I lost the bet.
02:17 I mean, they kicked that field goal, Tucker nails the field goal.
02:20 It's five, and the game is over, okay?
02:24 And they have to round with it.
02:25 Blame that on Harbaugh.
02:27 I can't believe, as I said before, if I'm Lamar Jackson,
02:32 cuz he's such a stud and he makes all that money, I just do it myself.
02:36 I just take the ball, ignore the play call, snap the ball, and
02:41 run and score a touchdown, cuz that's what he does, right?
02:44 But they got this guy now, I think, being what he's not.
02:48 They want him to be a pocket passer now?
02:51 This guy is so unbelievable when he gets out of the pocket and runs and throws.
02:56 Now they got him standing in the pocket waiting to get his head taken off.
02:59 I think Harbaugh is to blame for that loss, nothing else.
03:04 >> Yeah, I thought Harbaugh did a bad job.
03:06 Lamar wasn't great either, obviously.
03:07 And like you said,
03:08 there was some things that maybe he should have took over himself.
03:11 But it's a weird division, all four teams have their flaws.
03:18 All four teams, I think at this point, probably could still win it, right?
03:22 I think this is gonna go kinda all the way to the end,
03:25 because all of them are very good.
03:27 I mean, they're pretty good, Ravens, Steelers, Browns, and the Bengals.
03:31 As the Bengals got back into the mix too with winning yesterday,
03:34 as we'll talk about in a little bit.
