Cards End of 1st Half.?
You'll all have to forgive me for this question, I'm English, and don't have a 100% grasp of the rules of American Football.
But could the Cardinals have opted for a field goal when they was within 10 yards of the Steelers touchline?
FQ: If so, why didn't they? It might sound like hindsight, but before the phase where they got intercepted, I was wondering why they didn't take a field goal, to go in level at half time.
It might sound negative, but against the Steelers defence, you need to put points on the board when your in the Steelers ten yard line.
I'm glad they didn't, I've been following the Steelers since the early 1990's. My wife has relatives in Brooke County, WV. But if the Cards were playing anyone but the Steelers, I'd be cheering for them.

You can try a FQ on any down, but you'll always try for a touchdown first (except in overtime, where the first points win it, and a field goal does the job just fine).
That was a first down pass play, if it had been dropped they would have time for the field goal. They had 18 seconds left, that would have been plenty of time. VERY occasionally you see a team take too much trying for the touchdown and run out of time for a field goal try, but that would not have happened here.

They could have kicked at any time. They felt they were capable enough and that there was enough time left to try and get the lead instead of the tie. They were wrong.
