Thank goodness the NFL doesn’t award wins for style.
Sunday’s mythological tilt between the Steelers and the Titans – two of the final three unbeaten teams in the NFL — had it all: a first-half beatdown an a near epic second-half comeback before the Steelers somehow held on to win the battle of the unbeaten 27-24, thanks to a missed field goal by veteran Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
Pittsburgh looked so dominant in the first half on Sunday, rolling to a 27-7 lead at the half. Things fell apart in the second half though as Ben Roethlisberger turned the ball over twice, including a terrible interception in the end zone targeting JuJu Smith-Schuster in triple coverage.
