Jason Grilli live-tweeted Sunday Night Football from Heinz Field
Pirates closer Jason Grilli assisted @Steelers with live coverage of Pittsburgh's Sunday night showdown against the Bengals. Andrew McCutchen, cheese dip and Ocho Cinco all made appearances. Check out the full recap below:
A man of the people, Grilli hung out with fans before heading into Heinz:

Once inside the stadium, he chatted with some other Pittsburgh legends:

Right off the bat, the Steelers took a quick 21-0 lead. This gave Grilli hope that they could reach that oh, so magical number:
It is already Vente y uno...can get to Ocho cinco?

And of course, you can't have a baseball player live-tweet a game without some baseball references:
Classic Cheese "@GrillCheese49: 3 run homer. @steelers up 24 to 0"

Midway through the game, @GrillCheese49 got hungry:

Seriously, though, field goals should now be called this:
"@GrillCheese49: 3 run taters keep getting it done. #HereWeGo 30 to 7 @steelers"
— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 16, 2013
The Steelers closed out the 30-20 win and thanked their guest tweeter for a job well done:
Thanks for helping out tonight Cheese. #SteelersNation "@GrillCheese49: This is the time I love. Close it out @steelers"

Raise it, Pittsburgh fans:
