"Heath Miller set a personal record on a day in which he caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Yet the Steelers' tight end couldn't stop thinking about the pass he didn't catch following a 27-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday.
It came on the third play of the third quarter when Miller couldn't hang onto a Ben Roethlisberger pass and resulted in an interception near midfield.
Seven plays later, the Chiefs scored the touchdown that allowed them to trim the Steelers' 17-7 halftime lead to three points.
"It was a good ball," Miller said. "It hit me in the hands. It's a play I've got to make."
Miller has caught 54 passes this season - six more than the career high he established in 2008. It puts him on pace to exceed 86 catches this season.
Not that the big numbers he put up against the Chiefs nor the new standard he set for himself was much consolation to Miller after the Steelers lost their second consecutive game.
"I was way below the standard," Miller said of his play. "That's unacceptable."
• Chris Kemoeatu sprained his knee in the Steelers' 27-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the starting left guard did not play after halftime.
Coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Kemoeatu sustained a medial collateral ligament sprain.
"I don't know the extent of the injury," Tomlin said. "We will see when we get back.""
