The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to Denver to play the Broncos in the divisional round in large part because of this illegal hit delivered to defenseless Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown by Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict in the final minute of the game:
It's suspected Brown suffered a concussion on the play.
Burfict's penalty put the Steelers in position to kick a game-winning field goal, but it was Bengals cornerback Adam Jones who made the kick a chip shot when he was flagged for making contact with an official:
One 35-yard field goal and a failed Bengals Hail Mary later and the Steelers walked off the field with an improbable 18-16 win.
