With just 14 seconds to go, the Steelers had a 2nd down and Goal from the four-yard line. Although the were well within field goal range to tie the score, the Steelers were attempting to take the lead with a touchdown. Roethlisberger took the snap from the shotgun and threw a quick pass to his left to wide receiver Antonio Brown who caught at the Baltimore 1-yard line. Brown was immediately hit by safety Eric Weddle and linebacker C. J. Mosley. Brown's forward progress was stopped, but he remained upright and was eventually able to reach the ball over the goal line with his left hand for the touchdown. The score, along with the extra point, gave the Steelers a 31–27 lead with only nine seconds left. The Ravens were unable to overcome the deficit with time running so short, allowing the Steelers to win the game and the AFC North.
