This is the intro for the Week 15 game for the 2007 NFL season pitting the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a chilly and snowy Heinz Field (the second time in recent weeks that weather was a factor at a Steelers home game, as the field was covered with a tarp to avoid a repeat of the messy conditions of their 3-0 Monday Night Football win over the Miami Dolphins) as recorded on Norfolk CBS affiliate WTKR-TV 3 with CBS' B-team of Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf on the call (James Brown tosses to them for the "First on the Field" opening comments).
Much was on the line for both teams, as the Steelers (coming in at 9-4 in their first season under new head coach Mike Tomlin but having just been embarrassed by the New England Patriots 34-13 {with safety Anthony Smith getting criticism for guaranteeing a win over the unbeaten Patriots only to be burned for several big plays}) came in having been unbeaten at home and needing a win or losses by either the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans to clinch at least a wild-card, while a win or a loss by the Cleveland Browns (who were incidentally hosting the Bills) would lock up the AFC North. As for Jacksonville, they came in needing a win and a Titans loss to secure a wild-card.
In the Steelers' final home game of the regular season, the Jaguars raced to a 22-7 3rd quarter lead before Pittsburgh rallied to tie the game at 22-22 late, only for Jacksonville to retake the lead late on a 12-yard touchdown run by veteran running back Fred Taylor (who finished with 147 yards rushing) and a last-second rally fell short when the Steelers fell less than a yard short of a fourth-down conversion with 41 seconds left, ensuring a 29-22 Jaguar victory (incidentally; Tennessee would force the Jaguars to wait to clinch a playoff spot with a 26-17 win over Kansas City).
Ultimately, the Steelers would wrap up the AFC North the following week against the Rams; while Jacksonville would claim the 5th seed (first wild-card) and eventually met again on January 5, 2008 in an AFC wild-card game. That game would see the Jaguars - who intercepted Ben Roethlisberger 3 times and sacked him 6 times - end Pittsburgh's season, winning 32-29 off a 25-yard field goal by Josh Scobee with 37 seconds left that was set up by Jaguar quarterback David Garrard scrambling for 32 yards on a 4th and 2.

I would like to know if I can make requests of what I would like to see on your UA-cam channel.

Sorry, but I am not doing requests, mainly because I don't want to have to be in a situation where the requested video is something I don't have.
