This felt like one of the marches by a service academy in college football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers took over on their 9 against the Carolina Panthers and managed to grind out a touchdown. And they did it step by step.
How about a 21-play drive to cover the 91 yards?
The final snap was a Mitchell Trubisky TD “leap.”
