The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 wasn’t just another divisional defeat—it frustrated fans over the team’s questionable final play. With mere seconds left and the ball near midfield, Pittsburgh’s Hail Mary attempt felt more like a Hail Maybe, lacking urgency and execution.
Josh Rowntree of 93.7 The Fan tweeted after the game: “A Hail Mary to win the game. Pickens ran right through the end zone to fight a DB and the other guys are just standing there making no effort on the ball. Not sure what’s worse.”
A Hail Mary is never a high-percentage play but requires every ounce of effort and strategy. The Steelers, however, appeared confused and disorganized, as if they’d already conceded the game before the ball was even snapped.
