The Hurricanes led 40-21 going into Xmas with Rivers (8), Hunt (9), Ingram (6), Gronkowski (6) and Gano (11) scoring for them. The HNE had points from Hill (5) and Gostkowski (16).
Then came Xmas and the anticipation began. Roethlinsberger (9) and Bell (6) each had piled up points. Big Ben was at 226 yards and Bell at 69 yards in the 4th quarter. Bur Tomlin rested his stars,keeping them from gaining any of the needed yards.
HNE still had Ertz and needed either a TD or 100-yd performance for the win. Ertz put the pressure on with 6 receptions for 71 yards at the half. However, Ertz caught just 2 balls for 10 yards in the 2nd half and failed to score as the HNE comeback fell just a bit short."
From Miazga: "Great Finks win, Dick!
I hemmed and hawed over Fitzgerald vs Ertz for the second receiver spot until about an hour before kickoff Sunday. The difference there was 8 points, but Fitzgerald had done nothing the last two weeks so the call probably was right plus Ertz had 8 TDs going into the game
I was at a Christmas party during the Steelers game and wasn’t watching (my rule is no watching if a Finks game is on the line) but wondered why Bell had stalled during garbage time, his yards bonus would have been huge.
I don’t know how I made the playoffs this year or went 12-3. This was one of my worst drafted teams in some time plus didn’t have Beckham Jr for a majority of the year. Was happy to have the year I did.
If Act won (and with Gurley I’m assuming so) you have the two best Finks teams in the league going next week.
Quags has done a great job with roster management.
Good luck next week."
