The date is september 10th, 2023. The air is frigid in pittsburgh, but not quite cool. The stadium scoreboard reads 3:29 PM Eastern Standard Time. The remnants of “Renegade” rock ~~heinz field~~ acrisure stadium, and the Red & Gold take the field. Purdy stands in the huddle, breath shaky but not seen, and he makes the play call. The stadium is deafening now. The huddle breaks and Acrisure gets louder. Brock is in shotgun, 2 receivers to his left, bunched. Kittle is on the line. Aiyuk aligned to the right, Mccaffrey in the backfield. The clock winds down, purdy can’t hear over the fans roaring chants. Still, he waits. The play clock strikes one, and he takes the snap.
“Purdy drops back, he’s looking left, sees nothing…,” Highsmith breaks into the backfield. Close, but not close enough. Purdy spins him off and moves right. Watt is closing in now, but can he get there fast enough? It’s the million dollar question that all of Pittsburgh is waiting to find out. “Purdy sees someone deep, and he might have him…”
Purdy takes a step, Watt is coming, but it doesn’t matter. He launches it. The ball hangs in the air for what feels like an eternity.
“And it’s CAUGHT BY DEEBO SAMUEL FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!”
Acrisure is silenced. Purdy rushes down the field with the last energy he has left and embraces Samuel. “We did it man, we really did it!” Steelers fans stand silent in complete and total shock. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Not like this.
The field goal unit comes out, and with bated breath in a silenced arena, he takes the snap and it’s right down the uprights. Minkah was a hair too late on the block.
