Tommy
leading the way.
My
collage from the game.

The Steelers drive
for the tying touchdown. Seven points behind, with less than five minutes
remaining, Bill Cowher took the decision to bench his starter and bring
on XFL MVP, Tommy Maddox.
Seven plays and 77
yards later, Tommy was connecting with Plaxico Burress for a 10-yard touchdown
with just 2:02 remaining. In just over four minutes - Tommy became a hero
as the game, once looking lost, went into overtime.
The stadium echoed
to the chants of, "Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!" Not even a Hollywood
script could have captured the excitement of two missed field goals and
the winning kick by the Steelers.That part of the crowd, who had decided
to head home early missed a beaut.
Pittsburgh now has
the quarterback, an awesome offensive line with some great receivers.
Get the secondary sorted and there could be one for the thumb. Those four
words that mean so much to Steeler fans.
