Even Mike Vick’s brother couldn’t believe the Steelers didn’t give the ball to Le’Veon Bell

Say what you want about Mike Vick, but seeing him back under center as a starting quarterback for Thursday's game against the Ravens was certainly an interesting event for football fans, perhaps no one more so than Vick's younger brother, Marcus.

As you’d expect, he was very happy with Vick’s performance early, including the block Vick made to allow Bell to score an early touchdown:

When things got tight at the end of the game, Vick’s mood changed a bit.

After the Steelers tried to convert a 4th & 2 in overtime on a QB sweep that failed, Marcus hopped on Twitter to offer his opinion:

HE’S TALKING ABOUT HIS BROTHER.

Then later, with the Steelers on the edge of field goal range, Marcus thought the Steelers should give Josh Scobee, who was 2-4 on the night, a chance to win the game:

Sadly, Marcus’ lack of faith in his brother was vindicated. The Steelers failed to pick up the first down and the Ravens drove down the field to kick the winning field goal.

Moral of the story: Never trust your family.
