ts\n the final game of the NFL season. The moment all of Americas been \nwaiting for, and my sweet family got me awesome tickets in the back of \nend zone number two. I watch as the starting Quarter Back for the \nSteelers takes the field, Ryan White, for the coin toss. Also coming out\n on the field was the patriots star middle linebacker. I knew that it \nwas going to be a close game. The patriots call heads as the ref throws \nit up. It lands on tails. Ryan elects to receive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n The two teams set up for the first play. As soon as there set, the \npatriots kicker raises his hand then kicks it deep to Antonio Brown. I \nhave a hard time seeing the steelers offense walk to onto the field \nbecause the guy in front of me has a huge sign and hes keeps on \nscreaming. First and ten, Ryan hikes the ball, drops back to pass, finds\n a open man, throws it short, but it gets broken up. The next play he \ngets swatted at the line. Third and ten, Ryan needs a big play. \u201cHike\u201d \nthe snapper snaps it to Ryan he drops back, then looks around. Finally \nhe throws, but sadly its intercepted by the Patriots. They return it to \nthe one yard line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on Ryan get your\n head in the game\u201d I scream. This doesn\u2019t look good. The last thing the \nsteelers wanted was to be down by seven. On the next steeler drive Ryan \ncompletes ten out of ten passes then caps it off with a thirty yard \ntouch down pass to a wide open receiver. \u201cTake that Tom Brady\u201d I scream.\n Every things looking good so far with the steelers up by seven. Ryan \nonly being a rookie haas had a spectacular season. He won fourteen out \nof sixteen games and lead them through the playoffs. Its the first time \never that a rookie quarter back has brought his team to the super bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on Ryan\u201d I mumble\n to myself. He takes the snap then quickly throws it to Mike Wallace, \nbut as he does he get hit so hard he fly a couple feet backwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u201cCome on man, get up\u201d I say desperately, but he doesn\u2019t. Doctors \nquickly take the field. \u201cYou can play through it.\u201d The whole stadium is \ndead quiet. No says a word. There all in shock. Slowly they put Ryan on a\n stretcher and carry him off the field, just as the back up jogs onto \nthe field. I can\u2019t watch any more. Getting out of my seat I hope Ryans \nok and just got the air knocked out of him. I trudge to all the \nconcession stand. It seams the whole stadium is here for the injury \nbreak. I wait in line for what feels like hours wondering if Ryans well \nplay or even play next season. I groan, this does not look good for all \nsteeler fans. Finally its my turn. I tell him what I want then wait for \nit to be cooked. It takes forever to cook chicken. When its finished the\n man hands it to me, and I try and walk up the steps but theirs a ton of\n people coming down the stairs. They had excited looks on there faces. \nWhen I get out of the tunnel I\u2019m surprised. The score board says, seven \nto seven with no time left on the clock. The steelers were still in \nthis. The refs and players walk out on to the field for the overtime \ncoin toss. You could feel the excitement in the air as millions of \npeople held there breath. I couldn\u2019t here what the patriots called but I\n see the coin fly up in to the lights. It lands on tails again. There is\n a ton of screaming and applause. \u201cWho won\u201d I ask the guy sitting next \nto me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSteelers\u201d he replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes\u201d I say to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m pulling for the patriots\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was born in Pittsburgh so I\u2019ve always been a steeler. Just then I see Ryan limb onto the field. \u201cHow long has he been in\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe just got in. I heard that he has a hyper extended ankle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow thats got to hurt, buts hes tuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Steeler offense \nwalks to the line. Its a pass. Ryan throws a horrible pass that falls \nincomplete. The next play looks like the same thing. On the third play \nRyan throws it and its almost picked. The punt team walks on to the \nfield. They set up in there usual punt formation but the center snaps it\n to Rashard Mendanhall, the starting running back. He starts running \ndown the field. \u201cThere\u2019s no way he can make it to that first down. \nThere\u2019s no way.\u201d But he just keeps running. Now hes clearly past the \nline and theirs still nobody in front of him. Hes at the thirty, then \nthe twenty, then the ten, touchdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u201cYES\u201d I yell. The steelers one it in overtime on a fake punt eighty \nyard run. I\u2019m so happy, but I feel bad for the guy sitting next to me. \nHe looks ok. Then he gets up and leaves. The game MVP was Ryan White. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
