Following an interception of Ben Roethlisberger, Green Bay marched into field-goal range. However, two Game Carson Palmer Red Jersey  sacks of Brett Hundley pushed the Pack back to the 39-yard-line.     Instead of pinning the Steelers deep and forcing a long march for a score, McCarthy opted for the uber-long attempt.
