Freiermuth's Drop

It has been a crazy busy month.  I haven’t been posting routinely…frankly, I haven’t even thought about positing.  Sorry about that, I’ve just been running hard with work activities.

Anyway, a week ago I went to Minnesota to cover the Steelers at Vikings game on Thursday Night Football.  That was my first time at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.  I must say it is an amazing facility.  I was very impressed. 

I’ll post more photos from this game later, but for now here is the very last play of the game.  With time running out, the Steelers threw the pass into the End Zone to Tight End Pat Freiermuth.  If he had made the catch; the Steelers would have tied the game and they would have gone into Overtime.  But he was hit by three defenders at the same time and the football popped out of his hands.  This is the conclusion of that play, and you can see the ball slipping away from him.  I’m sure that was heartbreaking for him.     

Jesus, Other Fans and Behind The Scenes Photos

I was scrolling through photos I’ve taken covering the Pittsburgh Steelers in the last two years.  I’ve been covering them going back to my first game in 2011, but I was just looking at this year and last year.  While I was looking at these, it occurred to me that I don’t share any photos other then an occasional player, a live action shot and sometimes a coach.  But I take a bunch of the fans, who are sometimes more interesting than what’s happening on the field.  I also take a bunch of photos of objects (helmets, footballs, etc..) and other non-players (past players, other photographers, celebrities, etc..) on the sidelines, which normally don’t see the light of day. 

So, I’m going to share some of my favorite photos from the last two years with you today.  Happy New Year and good luck in 2019.
