 Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Michael Vick quite literally saved his best for last in Monday night’s game against the San Diego Chargers.  Vick, who is at the helm of the Steelers’ football hopes while All-Pro quarterback Ben Rothelisberger is out with an injury, had struggled most of the game.

However, with the game on the line, Vick  crafted a superb, 12-play, 80-yard drive in the final 2:56. With his team trailing,  20-17, Vick  calmly marched the Steelers down the field, making two huge plays to set up the win.

The first big play came on third-and-6, when he scrambled for 24 yards to the Chargers’ 17.  It was Vick’s first run of the night. Two plays later he found Heath Miller for 16-yards at the 1.   A personal foul for the hit on Miller moved the ball inside the one, with just five seconds left.

On the final play, Vick handed the ball to Bell, who fought his way into the end zone, giving the Steelers the win.  Vick was only 13 of 26 passing, for 203 yards, one touchdown, one interception, for the game. But those are just numbers.  Vick played winning football, giving the 3-2 Steelers a critical victory.

Vick signed with the Steelers’ in August, much to the disdain of more than 20,000 Steelers fans who signed a petition protesting the team’s decision to bring him on.  It has turned out to be an outstanding move for the Steelers so far, with Rothelisberger out for an extended period of time.

Vick gives Pittsburgh  a veteran quarterback with the ability to make game breaking plays, just like he did against the Chargers.
