Eight of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first nine games of the 2017 regular season occurred outside of prime time. While two games took place during the evening, it is out of the ordinary to have to wait until nearly the second half of the season, in Week Eight, before such a franchise as Pittsburgh, who has the history, the current quality, and the popularity to draw an audience, sees its first game under the lights.
And as they finally came out under the lights, they suddenly heated up against the Tennessee Titans, with the defense matching quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s four touchdown passes with four interceptions of their own, which is the most that they have had in a game in some years.
