description

Built for the challenge of surviving a low-scoring slugfest during 1997’s AFC Divisional Round, the Pittsburgh Steelers made certain that the New England Patriots struggled to capture two things: a touchdown, and Kordell Stewart on the run. Affectionately known as “Slash” for his rare trio of pass-run-catch abilities, Stewart puts the gifts on showcase during a play-action rollout, ultimately using sound blocking, a deceptive pass fake, and awareness to secure a dazzling 40-yard score. Author of the game’s only touchdown, Stewart went 14-of-31 for 134 yards, alongside an 11-carry, 68-yard, one-touchdown effort on the ground, guiding a 7-6 victory on January 3, 1998.
