    Why did they go for two??

    They would have been up 16.

    But Cinci would have needed two TD's and two 2pt conversions. Now they only need one.

    because they had a lot of success with their conversions during the reg season. that said, i agree that in the playoffs and especially under these conditions, the risk-reward wasn't worth it in this scenario, but this is how Tomlin is going to continue doing things.

    Tomlin has been going for 2 consistently throughout the year. Nothing new in terms of Pitt strategy.

    2 possession game vs 3 possession game. Come on people

    15 or 16 = 2 TDs
    17 = 3 scores

    Do you believe if a team is up a point, and they score a touchdown, they should go for two to get a 9 point lead?

    Better question is why did Cincy kick a field goal

    They would need a stop anyway and They still need a touchdown ...dunno. It may work out for them but I still don't know if it's right.

    Big Ben being out changes strategy, if we was still playing Cincy wouldn't have opted for a fg.

    Tomlin goes for 2 again in a situation that makes zero sense. He is going to end up costing the Steelers a playoff spot one of these weeks

    What was more hilarious was the Titans going for two potentially blowing their season.

    They always go for 2

    As many missed PAT's as there have been this year, its not a bad move.

    Quit thinking you know more than a coach that has won a super bowl and been a hc more than a decade

    as a fan i hated the shit outta that call, but in a weird way it probably got us the win. when kc had the ball next, they played more conservatively than they would have if they didn't have the lead. the goal would be to get a field goal before time expired, not drain clock and try to get a first down. still not a good call to go for two with three damn minutes left but somehow it worked out.

    I thought it took some balls for the Titans to go for 2 in that situation. You're on the road against the hottest team in the league, and one of the loudest home crowds in the NFL. Play to win.

    The booth kept saying the Titans were going for the win. The Titans were going for the lead. I never could get why they were saying that with over 3 minutes left. It was a non traditional call, but not a call like the Raiders had over the Saints in week 1. That call turned both teams' seasons around that day. I believe that was the spark the Raiders needed to be a playoff contender today versus a usual 5-11 team.

    Good points Seaborneq. I basically said what KLC did while I was watching it unfold. It didn't work out perfectly but they got rewarded in the end. Raiders are having a great season and recognizing that early was pretty sharp. Sometimes all it takes is a spark.
