Entering the Week 16 matchup against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, much of the talk regarding the matchup centered on the seemingly clear advantage the Lions were going to have in the run game, thanks to standout running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
The Lions are built around running the football, and taking on a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has struggled to stop the run at times this season, it seemed like a matchup Detroit could take advantage of.
They did anything but, as the Steelers completely shut down the run game. Pittsburgh allowed just 15 yards on 12 carries and turned the Lions one-dimensional for much of the game in a 29-24 win that came down to a wild final play.
