In honor from the Steelers reaching their eighth Super Bowl in franchise history,Charles Woodson Jersey, I've made the decision to test myself using a marathon of writing, so to speak. Above the following 14 days I'll (hopefully) be delivering one particular post every day major as much as my final pre-Super Bowl post the day of Super Bowl XLV. The following is element 6 of 14.
As I continue my quest to supply 14 straight days of content within the lead-up towards the Super Bowl I discover myself struggling for suggestions to end this week. Subsequent week will probably be committed to breaking down the upcoming game so I figured I'd devote the subsequent two days seeking back with the year that was so far for the Steelers.
Today I give you, the Top ten Plays of 2010 (so far).
Honorable Mentions: Hines Ward's 21-yard TD reception against Miami, Mike Wallace requires a slant 52 yards for a TD against Oakland, first-offensive-play bomb from Ben Roethlisberger to Wallace vs. Cleveland, and Rashard Mendenhall's overtime TD in overtime against Atlanta.
10.) Antonio Brown's 89-yard kickoff return for any touchdown against Tennessee (Week 2)
This perform set the tone for what will be one the Steelers' most dominating overall performance with the season. Sure the stats as well as the score do not show it, but the Steelers beat the Titans down from the opening kickoff of this one. This was the game that basically ended Vince Young's profession in Tennessee.
9.) [TIE] Troy Polamalu's picks against Buffalo (Week 13) and Cleveland (Week 17)
Both have been magnificent diving catches that I even now possess a difficult time fathoming. I believe Troy is in possession of that view from "Clockstoppers" which makes the main character speed as much as the point exactly where everything else appears to be standing nevertheless.
8.) Ben Roethlisberger's 19-yard run on third-and-18 against Buffalo (Week 13)
When Roethlisberger's career is more than this perform will probably be on each profession retrospective highlight reel. Tied 13-13 with just more than eight minutes left within the game the Steelers have been in a dogfight using the Expenses and Roethlisberger was hobbled on a prior perform when Bills defenders made a decision to attempt to bend him back and break him. Flushed in the pocket, Ben runs close to inside a circle, outruns a trailing defender and cuts up the field. At the first-down marker he hurls his body past a charging defender and it is capable to select up 19 yards to get a big first down. A basically outstanding play by a QB who helps make far more then any person could potentially count.
7.) Isaac Redman's 9-yard TD reception against Baltimore (Week 14)
Though it wasn't one of the most crucial perform from the game it did place the Steelers ahead 13-10, the score that they would ultimately win by. The play is on the list not since it was a terrific play, but since it meant so much to the Steelers' season. But I cannot place this play any increased simply because it would not have happened had it not been for perform range six...
6.) Roethlisberger escapes from Terrell Suggs and throws ball out of bounds (Week 14)
This may be the greatest incomplete pass in NFL history. Deep in Baltimore territory and trailing 10-6,Wholesale NHL Jerseys, Roethlisberger gets the snap on second down and it is quickly met by Terrell Suggs inside the backfield. Suggs tends to make the error of going for the ball plus a tug of war ensues where Roethlisberger is in a position to yank the ball away from Suggs and with his left hand toss the ball out of bounds, somehow making certain he gets the ball past the line of scrimmage to prevent an intentional grounding penalty. Wonderful, but this perform doesn't occur with out our amount five perform...
5.) Troy Polamalu's strip-sack and LaMarr Woodley's fumble recovery (Week 14)
Polamalu comes unblocked off the edge and can make the game-changing play the Steelers needed to possess a opportunity to beat the Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday Evening Football. The perform itself is not anything unique but without this play the Steelers likely don't defeat the Ravens, don't win the division, don't get a bye, and may not be playing in Dallas next Sunday.
4.) Ike Taylor strip-sack and William Gay Fumble Return TD vs. New York (AFC Championship)
In a game the Steelers would eventually win by 5 points, this final six points turned out to be the nail inside the coffin of the Jets. I struggled placing this play up so substantial simply because it wasn't all that breathtaking (Roethlisberger's first-down run was significantly a lot more remarkable) but you can't argue with all the fact that it it might be on the list of two most significant plays inside the Steelers getting previous the Jets to earn the right to play in Dallas.
3.) [TIE] Antonio Brown's Playoff Heroics. (AFC Divisional, AFC Championship)
Which perform was greater? The 52-yard bomb from Roethlisberger within the game against Baltimore. Which was more crucial? The kickoff return against the Jets to provide the Steelers exceptional field place once they have been looking to salt the game away. Which will suggest much more in Steelers background? Perhaps it's going to be the game-clinching initial down catch within the AFC title game. Irrespective of which perform you choose,Greg Jennings Jersey, all three had been large and they all contributed drastically towards the Steelers' playoff success.
2.) Goal-Line Stand vs. New York (AFC Championship)
I already wrote about this perform earlier this week (you'll be able to read it here) however it demands brought up yet again. The Jets ended up getting two points when a fumbled snap gave them a security on the extremely following perform,Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey, but if the Jets score a TD their following possession could have very well ended in a game tying TD. Now there's guarantee the Jets win if they score on that perform, but nonetheless that was an enormous perform based on how the rest in the game played out.
1.) Troy Polamalu leaps above a Titans' offensive line to sack Kerry Collins (Week 2)
The perform was meaningless inside the outcome in the game as well as the grand scheme with the season but I am even now looking to figure out how Troy did it. The amazing factor is he's virtually carried out it three times in his career. The reaction with the gamers on the area,Wholesale NBA Jerseys, Collins himself, along with the crowd inside the stands when Troy pulled out his Superman act was incredible and I'll never ever neglect that play. It was an additional within a series of incredible plays made by Polamalu in the course of his NFL career. Steelers followers really should really feel blessed to get guys like Roethlisberger and Polamalu on the area every Sunday, delivering them with incredible plays that nobody else inside the NFL could make.
So there you've it. My take on the Leading 10 plays with the 2010 season. In the event you agree, disagree, or simply need to get in touch with me names you can discover me on Twitter (@NFLBlogBlitzCK).
Here's to hoping I've an undisputed No. 1 play to add to this list after up coming Sunday.
