1. The Helmet “Clutch” (2011 Divisional Playoff vs Baltimore)

In a game where the Steelers had to come back from a 21-7 deficit at halftime, this was already a Heinz Field classic in the making. The Steelers had a chance to take the lead late in the 4th quarter, but found themselves with a 3rd-and-19 at their own 38 yard line with 2:07 remaining.

Enter Antonio Brown. Call it his coming out party. I like the helmet “clutch.” It was the most clutch moment of Brown’s career, making a catch against his helmet on a bomb from Ben Roethlisberger for a 58-yard gain down to the Baltimore 4 yard line. The Steelers then scored on a Rashard Mendenhall 2-yard touchdown run. What’s more, they eliminated the Ravens and eventually went all the way to Super Bowl XLV.
