It looked pretty darn good for about three quarters, but then in the fourth quarter the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense got tired and fell apart a bit, allowing the Minnesota Vikings back into the game.
Fortunately, Pittsburgh was able to close out the game late after a key intentional grounding penalty on Carson Wentz, forced by a great pass rush from Nick Herbig, preceded safety DeShon Elliott knocking down the fourth-down pass and sealing the win.
The Steelers held the Vikings to just 4-of-14 on third downs in the game, forced two turnovers and pressured Wentz time and time again.
