"The Drive III": 11 plays, 38 yards (6:32 duration)

[Prison Bitch]

Elway may have The Drive I and The Drive II, but we have The Drive III. Down 22-0 in the 2nd, we completed an 11-play drive that ate up nearly 1/2 the quarter....and then punted. It was a smorgasbord of WR screen passes, incompletions, QB scrambles and off tackle runs. (Then punted into the End Zone). The Steelers next play went for 26 yards.


Here's the recap for anyone wanting to be amazed:

This was eerily reminiscent of Fat Andy's magical drive in the Playoffs vs the Patriots, which lasted only 16 plays and ate up 5:16 late in the game trailing by 2 TD. At least that one ended in a score. It's incredible how many worthless, no-gain plays this clown draws up.
