Michael Vick lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a come-from-behind victory against the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football, last night, and his clutch 4th quarter performance was enough to give you flashbacks of 2010 Michael Vick. Near-MVP Michael Vick.
With the help of Le’Von Bell, the Steelers are now 3-2 on the season, thanks in large part to #2. Filling in for the injured Ben Roethlisberger, and continuously combatting the dog-fighting incident that America refuses to leg to of, Vick has prevailed, and despite going from for star player to savoy veteran, he is still one of the most serviceable non-starting quarterbacks in the league.
It should be mentioned that, ironically, Vick could’ve been a Charger straight out of college.
The San Diego Chargers traded away the number 1 pick in the 2001 NFL Draft to the Atlanta Falcons, who selected the Virginia Tech QB with the top choice–but San Diego did okay for themselves as well. The Chargers would go on to select LaDanian Tomlinson and Drew Brees–two likely Hall of Famers–with their first two picks in that draft.
Vick ended the night by going 13-26 for 203 yards with a touchdown, and an interception.
