Steelers’ Blown 4th-Quarter Lead Was Worst In 30 Years

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the wrong type of history in their 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. Per ESPN research via Brooke Pryor, Sunday night was the first time this century the Steelers lost a game by 10+ points that they led entering the fourth quarter. It was the first time since 1996 against the Houston Oilers, and it was also their first home game since 1985 that they lost by double-digits when they held a fourth-quarter lead.

From ESPN Research: This is the first time PIT lost a game by 10+ points that it led entering the 4th quarter since 1996 at the Oilers.
