The Steelers first playoff game was against the
Patriots. The Patriots won the coin toss
and chose to receive. Manny kicked
off. The Patriots returned it to the 35
yard line. The quarterback, Tommy Bradly took the snap and fired it across the middle. Pedro sped over and made the pick, but was
bulldozed by the wide receiver. Pedro
hit the ground hard! The team went
wild. But Manny saw Pedro was still on
the ground. Oh, no! It looked like Pedro was hurt, maybe hurt
badly! Manny ran over and told the
coach. The coach and Manny carried Pedro
off the field. They took him to the
hospital so he could be x-rayed. Pedro
had a concussion! The Patriots never saw
Pedro’s speed (except on the interception).
