What a first half for the black and gold! There were some highs and lows in this first half, including two passing touchdowns for Russell Wilson, mixed with a couple of… odd moments. Like this failed albeit very-nearly successful fake punt, dropped by CB James Pierre:
I have no problem with the fake punt. There was no one near Pierre at the snap.
It’s a game of execution. No excuse Pierre dropped the ball. It wasn’t a fastball thrown 100 mph. That’s a catch made at all levels and the Turkey Bowl, right?

On the plus side, the Steelers’ defense has managed to limit one of the league’s most explosive offenses, despite their 17-14 lead. But then again, the Commanders get the ball after the half, so it really does feel like this game could head in any direction.
How are we feeling heading into the second half, folks?
