Late collapse sends Steelers to 35-30 loss to Cowboys
PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger did everything perfectly. The fake spike that momentarily fooled the Dallas Cowboys. The perfect lob to Antonio Brown that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers the lead and appeared to be the perfect jolt they needed to jumpstart a sagging season.
Only one problem: There was too much time. Far too much. The sense of joy lasted all of 31 seconds, or the time it took the Cowboys to go 75 yards, the final 32 on Ezekiel Elliott’s dash to the end zone that gave Dallas a 35-30 victory and sent Pittsburgh to its fourth straight loss.
