The normally sure-footed Canadian, Shaun Suisham, missed more field goals on Sunday than he had in his prior 14 games.

The normally clutch-time quarterback Ben Roethlisberger misfired with the game on the line for a second consecutive week.

As a result, the 7-8 Pittsburgh Steelers have missed the playoffs.
