In their week nine matchup against the reeling, 2-7 Dallas Cowboys, the Steelers trailed by as much as 13 points before rallying behind Ben Roethlisberger’s playmaking and timely defensive stops to secure a tight, 24-19 win. In part due to a game plan that featured an uptick in zone coverage usage, the Steelers secondary was partially responsible for allowing Garrett Gilbert to finish the game 21/38, with 243 passing yards and a touchdown. Nonetheless, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cameron Sutton forced two crucial turnovers, a forced fumble which netted the Steelers a field goal before half, and a red zone interception which took points off the board late in the second half.
