The Cowboys defeated the Steelers on Sunday in one of the best games of the season, one that included a fake spike that turned into a touchdown for the Steelers.
Trailing 29-24 with less than two minutes to play in regulation, the Steelers needed to go the length of the field for a touchdown to take the lead. And they did just that. It took just five plays for Pittsburgh to go 75 yards. Prior to snapping the ball on the final play, Ben Roethlisberger gave every indication he would spike the ball to stop the clock. That, however, didn’t happen. He received the ball from the center and proceeded to throw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown while a few members of Dallas’ defense stood and watched.
? FAKE SPIKE ALERT! ?
And Big Ben finds @AntonioBrown in the end zone.

Unfortunately for the Steelers, the 30-29 lead following the missed two-point conversion would be short lived. The Cowboys also went 75 yards on five plays on the ensuing possession, with the game-winning touchdown coming on a 32-yard run by Ezekiel Elliott.
