A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers and Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete and dedicated article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys. The same as our recent Depot Daily, but now late at night to better capture the news of the day.
Your Depot After Dark for Oct. 12.
Le’Veon Bell TD Anniversary
On October 12, 2015, the Steelers walked off the San Diego Chargers on a Le’Veon Bell touchdown as time expired for a 24-20 victory. Without QB Ben Roethlisberger, the team turned to Mike Vick for this game. He threw for 203 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding a 24-yard rush.
On the goal line, Mike Tomlin opted to go for the win as opposed to playing for the tie. Bell ran over left side and crossed the goal line just before his knee went down. Touchdown, Steelers win. Dave Bryan shared the clip below, and, as he notes, this was the first game for Steelers kicker Chris Boswell, after replacing the injured Shaun Suisham and failed Josh Scobee.
Mike Tomlin’s Reaction
NFL Films caught the reaction to George Pickens’ game-winning touchdown to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. They shared this clip of an awesome Steelers sideline shot. Cam Heyward’s excitement seeing Pickens score while Mike Tomlin blew a kiss to the camera. And you gotta love this call from color analyst Craig Wolfley.
Baldy On Broderick
Everyone’s favorite analyst Brian Baldinger focused on Steelers rookie LT Broderick Jones in his first career start. Overall, Baldinger praised Jones’ performance, even when left on an island. Dan Moore Jr.’s status is unclear, but it seems like Jones won’t give up his starting spot even when Moore is healthy.
Listen to his whole breakdown below.
