However, Pittsburgh, who had already suffered offensive doubts in the game against Ravens in week 12, he ran out of thrust for the second half and only converted a 37-yard kick from Matthew Wright at the beginning of the last quarter.
For its part, Washington came out with new vigor to the third quarter and opened the complementary part with an 82-yard march that Peyton Barber capped with a one-yard carry to the diagonals. The mental clean and jerk was maintained for what remained of the game and in the fourth period he equaled the cards with Logan Thomas’ 15-yard reception in Promised Land.

One play later Roethlisberger sealed the game’s fate upon being intercepted by Jon Bostic; a situation that Washington took advantage of to dilute hopes of the third perfect regular season in history with Hopkins 45-yard kick.
