The 272nd and final regular season game of the 2025 NFL season was one of the most dramatic and meaningful as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens battled back and forth to capture the last remaining playoff spot. There were plenty of heroes and goats over the action-packed final minutes before everything came down to Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop attempting a 44-yard field goal to decide victory and defeat.
Loop's kick sailed far to the right and propelled the Steelers into the playoffs, capping a tremendous three hours of action and making a sleepy Week 18 all worth it. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, using the winner-take-all game as a final tuneup before the postseason, were once again at the top of their craft for the deciding play.
