The last time the #Steelers played at Lambeau thread. 2013. Longest season ever. 0-4, 2-6, and then 6-8 heading into Green Bay on Dec. 22. Windy, snowy, freezing. Brutal, but absolutely perfect. Dick LeBeau is about to recite The Night Before Christmas at the team meeting.
After Coach LeBeau was done, Coach T spots me and gives me a nod. What’s up coach? I need you to print out the article that says, ‘We can beat Pittsburgh with Matt Flynn’ and slide it under every defensive player’s door. I head to the hotel lobby and print 40 copies.
Door by door I go. Polamalu. Clark. Keisel. Ike. Heyward. About to run through a wall as I recall this. 15 minutes later the assignment was complete. I tell coach that it’s done and go on my way. The next day it’s even colder, windier and snowier. What more could you ask for?
Back and forth all game. Steelers took a 10-point lead on a Cortez Allen pick-six. Then the Pack tied it at 31. What follows? A forced fumble by 43, recovered by 99. I knew it was game. L Bell sealed it with a one-yard TD. Some great memories.
And… one of the very few times I asked for a pic because I knew I might never be back. Image
