The first step to a Steelers’ victory over the Lions begins with respecting their opponent

Mike Tomlin likes to remind Steelers’ fans that style points don’t matter.

Thank God for that.

Monday night’s 29-27 win over the Chicago Bears was anything but stylish. The Steelers cruised to a 14-3 halftime lead and then fell asleep. Chicago scored 24 points and rolled up 287 yards of offense in the second half, rallying to take a 27-26 lead before Ben Roethlisberger led a final drive that resulted in Chris Boswell’s game-winning field goal in the waning moments. It was nearly a “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory” scenario that would have ranked among the worst losses of the Mike Tomlin era.
