COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

1988 LB Devin Bush was the first NFL rookie with at least 100 tackles, 4 fumble recoveries, 2interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 1 sack in the same season since Bennie Blades of theDetroit Lions in 1988.

1927 S Terrell Edmunds and RB Trey Edmunds squared off with their brother, Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds in Week 15. The previous known instance of three brothers appearing in the same NFL game was in 1927 when Joe, Cobb and Bill Rooney (all played for the Duluth Eskimos).

281 Since 2014, the Steelers have recorded 281 sacks, which is the most sacks among all NFL teams.

200 WR JuJu Smith-Schuster had three receptions, including his 200th career catch, in the Steelers’ 26-24 win over the Colts on Nov. 3. At 22 years and 346 days old, Smith-Schuster was the first player to record 200 career receptions before his 23rd birthday in NFL history.

167 Since 2014, the Steelers’ offensive line unit has yielded 167 sacks, which is the third-fewest sacks allowed among all NFL teams.

137 Since entering the NFL in 2010, CB Joe Haden has recorded 137 passes defensed, which is the most of any NFL player. He also ranks fifth overall among active NFL players.

109 LB Devin Bush set a franchise rookie record with 109 tackles, which is the most by a Steeler in a season since Lawrence Timmons had 114 in 2016. He led NFL rookies in solo tackles, total tackles and fumble recoveries, and also ranked second in assisted tackles, tied for third in interceptions and fourth in tackles for loss.

96 S Minkah Fitzpatrick registered a 96-yard interception return for TD in the 26-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 3. The 96-yard interception return for TD was the second-longest in regular-season franchise history. The longest interception return for TD in regular-season franchise history is a 99-yard interception return for TD by Martin Kottler on Sept. 27, 1933 (the first year of the Steelers existence).

87.1 Pittsburgh completed 27 of 31 passes against Cincinnati on Sept. 30 (QB Mason Rudolph went 24 of 28, while RB Jaylen Samuels went 3 of 3). The 87.1 completion percentage is a team franchise record.

85.7 QB Mason Rudolph’s 85.7% (24 of 28) completion percentage (min. 20 completions) against Cincinnati (Sept. 30) was the highest for a quarterback in his second career start or earlier since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.

85 WR Diontae Johnson returned a punt 85 yards for a TD at Arizona (Dec. 8). The punt return for a TD was Pittsburgh’s first since Antonio Brown raced 71 yards for a TD vs. India-napolis on Dec. 6, 2015. The 85-yard punt return for TD is the longest punt return for a TD in franchise history and second-longest punt return in franchise history.

81.4 QB Mason Rudolph was the third quarterback since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to re-cord a passer rating of at least 81.4 and throw a TD in each of his first 6 career starts.

80 OL Alejandro Villanueva extended his regular-season games played streak to 80, which is tied for the third-longest active streak among active NFL offensive tackles.

57 Pittsburgh has registered at least 1 sack in 57 consecutive games, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. The 57-game streak is also the longest in regular-season fran-chise history and sixth-longest in NFL history.

54.0 DT Cameron Heyward’s 54.0 career sacks are the second-most by a Steelers’ defen-sive lineman, fifth-most among active NFL DT and eighth-most by any Steelers defender (since 1982).

54 Pittsburgh registered an NFL-best 54 sacks in 2019. The 54 sacks were the most for theSteelers in a season since 2017 -- when Pittsburgh recorded 56.

42 Since entering the NFL in 2017, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster has totaled 211 receptions for 2,895 receiving yards and 12 100-yard receiving games. He ranks 20th and 27th, re-spectively in receptions and receiving yards over a player’s first 42 NFL career games since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.

38 Pittsburgh forced 38 turnovers in 2019, which led the NFL. The 38 takeaways were the most for the Steelers in a season since 1996 -- when Pittsburgh forced 40.

34.5 Since entering the NFL in 2017, LB T.J. Watt has recorded 34.5 sacks, which ranks fifth overall and first among all NFL linebackers over that span.

26.0 LB T.J. Watt (14.5) and LB Bud Dupree (11.5) combined for 26.0 sacks this season, which was the second-most of any tandem in the NFL. Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre Paul of Tampa Bay combined for 28.0.

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

22-297 At 22 years and 297 days old, JuJu Smith-Schuster, who now has 2,895 career re-ceiving yards, surpassed Randy Moss (22 years, 310 days) as the youngest player to reach 2,500 career receiving yards in NFL history

36 LB T.J. Watt put together an NFL Defensive Player of the Year-caliber season in 2019. He ranked in the top-five in the NFL in sacks (14.5, t-4th), quarterback hits (36, 3rd), forced fumbles (8, t-1st) and fumble recoveries (4, t-2nd). Watt also ranked tied for 12th in tackles for loss (14).

13 RB Jaylen Samuels recorded a career-high 13 receptions in the 26-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 3. The 13 receptions are the most by a Steelers running back (previous record was 12 by Le’Veon Bell vs. Green Bay on Nov. 26, 2017).

12 With his five catch, 103-yard effort against Miami Dolphins on Oct. 28, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster became the first wide receiver in NFL history to post 12 100-yard receiving games prior to his 23rd birthday.

9.0 Pittsburgh had 3 different players record at least 9.0 sacks in 2019 (T.J. Watt with 14.5, Bud Dupree with 11.5 and Cam Heyward with 9.0). The Steelers were the only team in the NFL with 3 players that recorded at least 9.0 sacks.

8 S Minkah Fitzpatrick was involved in 8 of the Steelers’ 38 forced turnovers (5 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 forced fumble). His 8 total takeaways (interceptions and fumble recoveries) led the NFL.

6.5 CB Mike Hilton has recorded 6.5 sacks over his three-year NFL career. The 6.5 sacks are tied for the fourth-most of any defensive back since Hilton entered the League in 2017.

5 S Minkah Fitzpatrick ranked tied for fourth in the NFL with five interceptions. His 5 interceptions in 2019 were the most by a Steeler in a single season since Troy Polamalu had 7 picks in 2010.

2ND LB Devin Bush was the second NFL rookie (first Steeler) since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger with a fumble return for a TD and an interception in the same game (Delton Hall accomplished the feat vs. San Francisco on Sept. 13, 1987).

1ST WR Diontae Johnson was the first Steelers’ rookie with a punt return for a TD since Santonio Holmes had a 65-yard punt return TD vs. Carolina on Dec. 17, 2006.

1ST QB Devlin Hodges is the first undrafted rookie QB to win his first three NFL starts since the Washington Redskins’ Ed Rubbert in 1987 (replacement player during the 1987 NFL players’ strike). Hodges is the only rookie undrafted QB in a non-strike season to win each of their first three starts in Super Bowl era (since 1966).

1ST QB Devlin Hodges was the first Samford QB to appear in a professional football game since Jimmy Tarrant of the 1946 Miami Seahawks. He also was the first undrafted Steelers rookie with multiple completions in a single game since QB Tony Dungy on Oct. 9, 1977 at Houston.

1ST WR Diontae Johnson, who led the NFL in punt-return average (12.4), is the fifth player in franchise history to lead the League and first since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

GAME NOTES

2019 SEASON RECAP | 4

www.steelers.com @Steelers @SteelersPRDept /Steelers @Steelers @Steelers

Opening Statement:Good afternoon. Like I said Sunday in Baltimore, I am appreciative of the efforts of all parties involved. I think that sentiment remains the same. I am still a little bit numb, to be quite honest with you. You fight over the course of what is half a calendar year to put yourself in the position to be a team in the tournament and it comes to a screeching halt. I have been in the business long enough to understand that, what it means and to understand the significance of it. But it doesn’t lessen the disappointment that I have standing here today. But at the same time, it doesn’t lessen the resolve that I have as I stand here today as well. We endured a lot of adversity throughout the course of the season. In a lot of ways, some of it created by the game itself, natural attrition associated with play. Some of it was our doing. It always is. We fall short of perfection like everyone. And hopefully we have learned from it in some way. I am not in the mindset as I stand here, and I told the team this yesterday, of wrapping a bow around 2019 just yet. Some how that is comfort seeking to me. At the same time, I don’t want to wallow in it, because we don’t have a lot of time for that either organizationally. We have to absorb the lessons learned from 2019 in an effort to control what we can control and that is the foundation of 2020. We are going to quickly move to that. And part of moving to that is assessing 2019 and doing so in a very detailed and methodical way. We are at the very begin-nings of that, to be quite honest with you. I started today, this morning, meeting with players. I require all rookies, all practice squad guys, all guys whose contracts are up to meet with me initially, and then I get to some of the others. I am in the very beginning stages of assessing what happened, the evaluation of the men, the evaluation of the coaching staff. Starting the planning how we move forward and things of that nature. That is going to be some of the things that will be on going here over the next couple weeks. The self-scout element of play is a component of that. Looking around a little bit. Looking at some things maybe some others are doing. When you are not in the tournament, it allots you more time for that self-analysis, if you will. So, we are going to utilize that time in the appropriate ways in an effort to begin the foundation of what is 2020.

But 2019 was what it was. I appreciate the efforts, but we are not one of the teams in the tournament and we understand that. I thought through the course of it all, I thought there were opportunities for growth for a lot of young men. A lot of young guys rose up in our ranks in terms of their responsibilities and their contributions. Hopefully, that is an asset to us. Hopefully, that is a catalyst for many of the young people as they move into 2020. The experiences that they had is a catalyst for growth, because we need to get better. We need to get better in all areas. In an effort to get better in all areas, we have to start first and foremost with the individual man and his health, his overall readiness and conditioning and then thus gain. We are breaking it down. We are about to begin that process with each guy individually and tailor programs to bring the best out of them and to gain some clarity about what the journey of improvement is going to look like. Because that is how we collectively improve. At the appropriate time, we are going to analyze our schematics and our division of labor from a coaching staff perspective in an effort to do similar things. That’s a good component of it for us, to study the trends within the game, our place within those trends, whether we are on the right side of the curve or whether we are lagging. There is a lot of discussion to be had.

From a health standpoint, there probably is not a lot of new things to discuss with you guys as I stand here today. Many of the surgeries and things that need to transpire already have and you guys have gotten updates along the way about guys who have been injured. We are starting the process of exit physicals. We have had some minor injuries and so forth as it relates to game 16. Ankles and so forth. Nothing that appears to be surgical at this time. The rehabilitation element of it is not under any type of a clock. I don’t think any of the things that happened this past weekend is worth mentioning in this setting from a surgery standpoint. Not any surgery schedule based on information that we have here. Obviously, some guys who have gone through some health things like Ben [Roethlisberger], who are in the process of rehabilitation, will have some significant updates along the way. Check ups that allow them to move in different areas of rehabilitation. We are going to get some clarity about some of those things I am sure in the upcoming days and weeks, whether you are talking about Ben or Stephon Tuitt and guys like that or others. I don’t have a lot of clarity on those kinds of things in terms of their next significant update and what that might mean, but I will be gaining some of that.

In terms of free agency, we have some guys obviously up. We will do our normal business. We will do a good job of communicating. Our attitude regarding all of these guys is that they are Steelers until they are not. That has been the message that I have expressed to guys that I have met with this morning. And we mean that. We appreciate what these guys have put into it. We are going to work to do business with them. The business will speak for itself whether or not the sides come together, and the market does. But until then, those guys are Steelers. This building and facility will be opened to them and things of that nature. We will continue to plan and communicate, not only for 2020 with those guys, but big picture things as it relates to their careers.

For me personally, a challenging year, but they all are. I haven’t spent a lot of time weighing the dust settling. I am sure that I will be doing some of that self-analysis in ways that I can lead the group better and get better. I will be working extensively over the course of the next couple months in terms of gathering information in that regard. I believe regardless of how long I have held this job, you have opportunities to get better. You learn from the journey, you better assess it, analyze it in a lot of ways. Turn stones over. I will be participating in that as I always do and look forward to working to improve and finding better ways to put together a winning formula. We have to do that, obviously. I am standing before you 8-8 and on the outside of the tournament. That is not a place we want to be.

Where do you get the information about yourself other than your own personal evaluation?Just this process of visiting with the men that I work with, both players and coaches. Studying trends in the game. All of those things directly or indirectly provide me information about things that I need to do culturally in order to build an environment to produce consistent winning.

MIKE TOMLIN END OF SEASON PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT

2019 SEASON RECAP | 5

www.steelers.com @Steelers @SteelersPRDept /Steelers @Steelers @Steelers

What does Ben Roethlisberger’s potential return not fix on the offense?I don’t have the answer to that as I stand here right now. I think you go into it just ready to peel back all the layers and analyze every aspect of play. Some of it relates to Ben and his presence, and you understand what his presence means. But largely you are just analyzing “it.” We have areas to improve across the board, positionally, schematically and I look forward to doing so as it relates to Ben and as it does not relate to Ben as well.

Are you comfortable with Mason Rudolph being Ben Roethlisberger’s back-up going into 2020?I am comfortable with Mason Rudolph. I am disappointed that he missed the amount of time he did. Injuries are a part of the game. He had an opportunity to grow and grow in a lot of ways and get a lot of experience. He missed some time due to injuries and performance and so forth. But I am comfortable with Mason Rudolph.

Are you comfortable with Devlin Hodges?In what capacity?

The same one:Mason is the backup.

With Mason Rudolph as the backup, is it in your best interest to get a veter-an as the third quarterback?I don’t even know what the potential market is as we stand here, to be quite honest with you. We are in self-analysis, so some of the questions that you ask lie outside of us and I am just not ready to weigh in on those options. We are open to any and all options that is going to al-low us to put the strongest football team that we can put on the field. But to stand before you and act like I understand the depths of the veteran quarterback market would be an untruth.

Do you have a time-line in your mind of when you would like to see Ben Roethlisberger throw?I do not, particularly in my mind. I lean on the expertise of the medical professionals. What I want is secondary to that.

What does Devlin Hodges have to do this offseason to be back in the mix for next year?This is a guy that really had an awesome opportunity when you look at it -- opportunity to play, opportunity to grow. I believe he did those things. How much he grows and what it means for him in the evolution as a player, we are going to be riding that and he is going to be riding that as we move forward.

What is the overall mindset of the team right now?I don’t have a feel for that. I haven’t visited with enough people to have a feel for that. All of us in this building, in this business, understand that there is a scarcity in this thing and that change is a part of it. I think any of us who have been in it for any length of time understand that. I believe that goes without saying. I don’t think that is anything earth shattering or groundbreaking in regard to that. Guys that have been in this thing know that there are going to be changes and there are going to be new faces and roles are going to change and evolve. Some may diminish. The wheel keeps on turning.

Do you expect any changes on your coaching staff?I don’t have any idea. I don’t put the coaches in front of the players. I am visiting with players as I stand here right now. I understand that change is a part of the business. I wouldn’t be shocked if there is some movement and change, that is just part of this business, particularly in 2019.

How important is it for you to have Bud Dupree back?He is a priority for us. But we haven’t had extensive meetings in terms of defining that. But make no mistake, Bud Dupree is a priority for us.

Would you like to add to the running backs, or do you just want to see more from the guys who are currently there?I’m not ready to talk about what 2020 looks like in terms of our agenda from a free agency standpoint or a draft standpoint. Kevin Colbert and I get together in the upcoming months and do an awesome job of communicating and kind of developing that collectively. That will be answered as we move forward. I think a more reflective and evaluating the men that are here and what they did and the prospects of what they are capable of providing us as we move forward, as opposed to some of the things that you mentioned.

Who do you evaluate JuJu Smith-Schuster’s season?I haven’t met with him yet, so we will develop a mentality in that regard. Injuries are a part of the game. He knows that, I understand that. We don’t waste any time worrying about that. I like the way he grew as a leader. I like some of the leadership presence that he provided even when he wasn’t participating for young guys in his position group like James Washington and Diontae Johnson. I thought he took a step in those ways. In terms of production, in terms of the receiver position, a lot of those things are defined by variables that, at times, are out of your control. We are not going to worry too much about that. It was what it was. I’m sure it was a disappointment for him. It was a disappointment for us, collectively talking about 2019. We will absorb it, be accountable for it and move forward for 2020.

What was it like not having Ben Roethlisberger for a full season?We live by the cliché that the standard is the standard. Incidents like the loss of Ben gives us the opportunity to live that out. I don’t know that our mentality changed in terms of what our intentions were. It was an opportunity for us to roll our sleeves up and make that a reality. Our focus was there. Our focus was individually doing what was required to get in and out of stadiums with wins. I didn’t spend a lot of time crying about it. I still haven’t. Maybe I will gain a better perspective as I gain some distance. In the process, there is a certain urgency to respond to the next challenge that doesn’t give you a time to waddle in it. How do you account for James Conner’s health in his evaluation of his season?That is a big component of it. He didn’t spend a lot of time on the field healthy. But that is as much a part of the game as blocking and tackling. We will assess it and we will assess it with him as it pertains to him in an effort to minimize it to what degree we can moving forward. But injuries are a part of the game, it happens.

How many running backs do you have on this roster that you can use as a primary guy?I think we are going to be defining that as we move forward in 2020. What somebody’s role was in 2019, I don’t put them in a box in terms of what they are capable of in 2020. We have some good, capable men. I am not going to put restraints on what any of those guys are capable of being. We have some guys under contract. Some of which proved that they can play and play in an expanded capacity because of what happened with James [Conner] and we will see what happens in 2020.

How much do you value the players’ opinions in those exit meetings?There is a dialogue. Their opinion or how much the player talks has a lot to do with the player and their relationship and how long they have been here and things of that nature. It is on a very individual basis. But make no mistake. You need information in order to make decisions and judgments and evaluate. There is an exchange of information in these meetings for sure.

2019 SEASON RECAP | 6

www.steelers.com @Steelers @SteelersPRDept /Steelers @Steelers @Steelers

How much can use when you went 8-8 in back-to-back seasons to learn from now?I don’t do a whole bunch of that. The variables are ever changing. The men that you are working with are ever changing. I am just focused on as I transition to 2019 to lay a good foundation for 2020 where we are not having this discussion.

Do you take any solace in the fact that after starting 0-3, the player rallied around the adversity and won seven of eight games?No.

In what ways do you think you grew as a coach this year?I really have no idea as I stand here. Just not there yet.

Are you going to bring in a quarterbacks coach to work with the younger quarterbacks?In terms of a division of labor from a staff standpoint, a quarterbacks coach being one of them, that is things that I evaluate as I assess the staff and how we worked and the type of foundation we need to lay as we move forward to 2020. I am not opposed to that thought process, that discussion, that exploration. No doubt.

When you decide what you need for your staff, will you ask the positions above you if you need to add more coaches?Yes.

Can you talk about how the level of intensity from your standpoint on a business side during the offseason?As somebody that doesn’t have a lot of hobbies and loves what he does for a living, I embrace that element of it. That is the only way I get over the disappointment of the season, to be quite honest with you. In a few weeks I will be headed to Mobile and I’ll begin anew, exposing myself to the 2020 draft eligibles. After that, you will start exposing yourself to free agent potential availability and evaluation of those men, getting prepared for Indy and the interviews associated with that. The wheel keeps turning. The challenges, there is urgency to the challenges, they are different. You have to pivot and transition and I look forward to doing that. That is an aspect of the job I really enjoy. Like I said it’s therapeutic for me.

Does free agency become more important this year because you don’t have a No. 1 draft choice?There is urgency on it all of the time. We’re giving it special attention this year. We say that every year. There’s big time urgency in this. There’s big-time urgency in the decisions we make in free agency, there is big time urgency in how we prioritize our draft needs. It’s not checkers, it’s chess.

Did you see the necessary jump from first year to second year guy in guys like James Washington and Terrell Edmunds?I did in some ways. I think I am still in the evaluation stage of it. Just a gut reaction yes. But it all starts with a level of conditioning that displays and understanding of what lies ahead. We’ve talked about it at the onset of this journey. Most of the guys displayed that awareness. So, it’s reasonable to expect a jump in performance. James Washington displayed that awareness with a level of conditioning when he showed up in Latrobe. It is not surprising he was able to take a significant jump in what he was able to do to contribute to us for example.

In what ways did it help to have Ryan Shazier here to help Devin Bush through his rookie season?Not only Devin, but Ryan is a football junkie. He is. He loves it. He loves to be around it. He loves to talk it. He is an asset to those guys as a teammate. It’s no different than any other guy that is injured and has his hand in the pile and helping his guys get ready whether it’s day to day from a practice standpoint or whether it’s game work. We expect all our injured guys to be positive contributors to our efforts and he is among those guys, just like Ben was unusually so this year. We are really pleased with the contributions from him in that regard as well.

Do you have any time-line on when Ben can start throwing or how soon he will be ready?I know that he is due for an update somewhere around the 1st of February, a checkup that will be probably significant in terms of mapping out what is next. But that is a moving target, that date.

Any optimism that he will be ready by mini-camp, training camp, or the season?Again, we have been taking one step at a time. We are going to get whatever information pertaining to what you asked probably around that time.

You have four offensive linemen who are 30. Does that position need tweaked?I am always interested in adding depth and competition at any position group if that is what you mean.

When you say Ben was unusually involved this year…No, he was unusually a non-participant.

How did you see Ben evolve as a leader even though he wasn’t on the field?I wasn’t focused on that. I was focused on trying to get the guys who were playing ready to play. He was extremely helpful to us.

You and Kevin Colbert have worked together for a long time. He is going year to year on his contract status. This draft could be the last one with him. Do you cherish the moments like that?I don’t get sentimental if that is what you mean. He and I have both been at it a long time. It’s realistic to say we have seen more days together than we are going to see. But I don’t analyze it any deeper than that. I look forward to getting back out there with him and continuing what it is we do.

You are on a short list of teams who are eligible for Hard Knocks. Do you have any thoughts on that?I don’t.

Would you do it if they asked?Asked? (laughter)

How do you develop an offseason plan with your quarterbacks if you don’t know if Ben will be healthy as far as constructing the roster?There is a large margin for error in the offseason. You have a 90-man roster. It’s not going to be an issue for us dealing with his availability or lack thereof. It’s just not.

Pittsburgh 3New England 33

The Steelers drove 74 yards on 11 plays in 4:43 on the opening possession of the second half but wound up settling for a 19-yard field goal by kicker Chris Boswell on fourth-and-goal from the Patriots’ 1.

The big play on the drive was a 45-yard connection from Roethlisberger to wide receiver James Washington on third-and-10 from the Steelers’ 37. It was the Steelers’ second third-down conversion in seven attempts (the Pats converted five of their first nine third-down tries).

New England responded with a 58-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Dorsett with 8:05 left in the third quarter.

Gostkowski’s third field goal, a 35-yard effort, made it 30-3 with 13 seconds left in the third quarter. A Brady-to-Gordon 44-yard hookup pushed the ball from the Patriots’ 14 to the Steelers’ 42. New England finished the drive with points for the second time in two third-quarter possessions.

The Patriots didn’t stop there. Even on a drive where they were penalized twice for offensive holding, they still were able to put points on the board. Gostkowski hit a 39-yard field goal, extending the lead to 33-3.

A late drive by the Steelers was thwarted when Roethlisberger’s pass for Washington in the end zone was intercepted by Devin McCourty

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It wasn’t the opening night the Steelers had hoped for as they fell to the New England Patriots, 33-3, on a night where nothing seemed to go right.

The offense couldn’t get in the end zone, while the defense wasn’t able to stop Tom Brady and company.The Patriots drew first blood on their second possession.Quarterback Tom Brady went 3-for-4 passing for 69 yards on the seven-play, 82-yard march in 3:08,

including a 20-yard catch-and-run touchdown to wide receiver Josh Gordon. The Patriots overcame a first-and-20 from the New England 25-yard line following an offensive pass interference penalty. Consecutive carries by running back James White following the penalty set up a third-and-5, which Brady converted by hitting wide receiver Phillip Dorsett for 8.

The big play was a backwards pass from Brady to wide receiver Julian Edelman, who then threw back across the field to White, who got down the far sideline for a 32-yard gain to the Steelers’ 20.

Gordon scored on the next snap.New England increased its advantage to 10-0 on a 25-yard field goal by kicker Stephen Gostkowski

with 11:52 left in the second quarter.New England’s 12-play, 55-yard drive in 5:24 achieved a first-and-goal at the Steelers’ 9, but the

defense allowed only 2 yards on the next three snaps.Brady drove the Pats again late in the second quarter and culminated a six-play, 80-yard drive in

3:09 with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dorsett. Brady’s second touchdown pass of the night directly followed 16- and 24-yard connections to Edelman.

Gostkowski added a 41-yard field goal 17 seconds prior to halftime that upped the New England lead to 20-0.

The Steelers twice failed to convert third-and-1s in the second quarter (one on an inside rush by running back James Conner and one on a pitch to Conner).

They were also denied on fourth-and-1 from the Patriots’ 47 just inside the first half’s two-minute warning (wide receiver Donte Moncrief couldn’t hang on to a short pass from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with safety Patrick Chung defending).

The Patriots had 15 first downs to the Steelers’ four and out-gained the Steelers, 275-87, in the first two quarters.

Seattle 28Pittsburgh 26

The Steelers’ next possession ended on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Rudolph to McDonald that capped a 12-play, 75-yard march in 6:40. Rudolph’s pass to Smith-Schuster for a two-point conversion was intercepted and the Seahawks retained the lead at 21-19 with 11:16 left in regulation.

A 41-yard field goal by Boswell had snapped a 7-7 tie with 2:28 remaining in the second quarter.The Steelers had taken over following a punt at their 28 with 5:54 left prior to halftime. The Seahawks

were guilty of defensive holding on the first snap of the drive. Roethlisberger then connected on three straight passes, one to Smith-Schuster, one to wide receiver James Washington and another to Smith-Schuster, for a combined 39 yards to the Seahawks’ 28. The drive stalled thanks in part to an offensive pass interference penalty against McDonald on third-and-4 from the Seahawks’ 22.

Seattle had tied the game at 7-7 on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to tight end Dissly, who caught the ball in the end zone behind Bush and in front of Davis. The Seahawks had kicked a field goal on fourth-and-3 from the Steelers’ 28, but Steelers defensive tackle Dan McCullers was called for unnecessary roughness and that set Seattle up with a first down at the Steelers’ 14.

A penalty had also negated the Steelers’ first touchdown.Inside linebacker Mark Barron recovered a fumble created by outside linebacker T.J. Watt late

in the first quarter and returned the ball 34 yards for a score, but Davis was called for an illegal block behind Barron as Barron was running into the end zone.

The Steelers took over at the Seahawks’ 22 and attained a first-and-goal at the Seattle 1 after outside linebacker Mychal Kendricks was called for pass interference on a fade to running back Jaylen Samuels at the end zone pylon. Conner followed with a 1-yard touchdown run.

The Steelers sacked Wilson four times in the first half.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers fought back late, but weren’t able to stop the Seahawks on their final drive, falling, 28-26, in the team’s home opener at Heinz Field. The loss dropped the Steelers to 0-2.

The Steelers got back in the game late when Devin Bush picked up the loose ball at the 14-yard line on an aborted play, and returned it to the three-yard line, where he went out of bounced. Mason Rudolph hit Vance McDonald for a three-yard touchdown, cutting the lead to 28-26 after Chris Boswell’s extra point.

The Seahawks achieved some much-needed separation in a back-and-fourth affair on a 28-yard touch-down pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver DK Metcalf with 7:15 left in the fourth quarter.

A successful challenge of a non-call for defensive pass interference on strong safety Terrell Edmunds turned an incompletion and an impending third-and-20 into a first-and-10 at the Steelers’ 35-yard line.

Wilson found Metcalf three snaps later.Kicker Jason Myers’ extra point gave Seattle a 28-19 lead.The Seahawks took the ball away early in the third quarter and then took the lead.Wilson connected with tight end Will Dissly on first-and-10 from the Steelers’ 12-yard line for a

touchdown with 9:49 left in the third quarter. Dissly got behind inside linebacker Bush and caught the ball in front of free safety Sean Davis. Myers’ extra point made it 14-10 Seahawks.

The scoring drive began at the Steelers’ 40 after a pass from quarterback Rudolph bounced off wide receiver Donte Moncrief and was intercepted by Seahawks free safety Bradley McDougald.

Rudolph had replaced starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (right elbow) on the Steelers’ first possession of the second half.

The Steelers countered the Seahawks’ third-quarter touchdown with a 33-yard field goal by kicker Boswell that cut the Seattle advantage to 14-13. The big play on their seven-play, 60-yard drive in 3:28 was a 45-yard flea flicker, a pitch from running back James Conner back to Rudolph, who then found wide receiver JuJu Smith Schuster for a gain to the Seattle 16-yard line.

Seattle countered with a 37-yard burst for a touchdown by running back Rashaad Penny on third-and-2 with 3:04 left in the third quarter. GAME SUMMARY

Pittsburgh 20San Francisco 24

Boswell opened the scoring with a 46-yard field goal with 11:47 left in the first quarter.The scoring drive featured three completions on Rudolph’s first three attempts but only covered 5 yards

following Watt’s interception of a bobbled screen pass and 7-yard return to the San Francisco 33-yard line.Boswell connected for the third time in as many games and for the fourth time in four tries overall

this season.San Francisco’s third possession produced the same result as its first, the 49ers turned the ball over

and the Steelers converted an interception into a field goal.This time it was free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick collecting the carom of a pass from quarterback

Jimmy Garoppolo that deflected off wide receiver Dante Pettis. Fitzpatrick’s 14-yard return set the Steelers up at the 49ers’ 24, but the Steelers ultimately settled for a 26-yard field goal by Boswell.

By then the trend had apparently been set.The 49ers turned the ball over again on each of their next two possessions, both times in Steelers’

territory.Inside linebacker Devin Bush recovered a fumble at the Steelers’ 9 with 14:51 left in the second

quarter. Running back Raheem Mostert was initially separated from the football by Fitzpatrick.Bush jumped on a subsequent loose ball at the Steelers’ 7 with 11:25 remaining prior to halftime

after a fumble by Garoppolo on a snap.The 49ers forced a three-and-out following their fourth turnover and took over at the Steelers’ 49

following a punt.This time San Francisco put together a nine-play, 43-yard drive in 3:52 that concluded with a 24-yard

field goal by kicker Robbie Gould 6:45 before the break.Fitzpatrick made his Steelers debut and Rudolph made his first NFL start.The Steelers lost tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) in the second quarter.The interceptions by Watt and Fitzpatrick were the Steelers’ first two of the season.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Steelers fall to 0-3 after losing the San Francisco 49ers, 24-20, at Levi’s Stadium.

The defense came up with five takeaways, but it wasn’t enough. A late fumble by James Conner lead to the 49ers game-winning touchdown.

The 49ers were driving to re-gain the lead, when the defense came up with their fifth takeaway of the game. On an aborted play, the receiver was in motion and the ball was snapped early, hit Richie James Jr. and T.J. Watt came up with the recovery at the Steelers 14-yard line. But the 49ers got the ball right back when Conner’s fumble was recovered by DeForest Buckner at the Steelers 24-yard line. The 49ers would make it count. Jimmy Garoppolo hit Dante Pettis for a five-yard touchdown to give them a 24-20 lead, which would seal the win.

Quarterback Mason Rudolph’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 39-yard deep ball to wide receiver Diontae Johnson, put the Steelers back in front. Kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point made it 20-17, with 10:22 left in the fourth quarter.

Running back Jeff Wilson Jr.’s second touchdown of the game, this one a 4-yard blast on first-and-goal, helped put the 49ers back on top at 17-13 with 4:46 left in the third quarter. San Francisco responded to falling behind 13-10 with a 10-play, 75-yard march in 4:46.

A big play had allowed the Steelers to regain the lead with 5:42 left in the third quarter.Rudolph hit wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on a crossing route on third-and-4 from the Steelers’

26-yard line and Smith-Schuster got to the boundary, turned up the field and didn’t stop until he’d crossed the goal line. The 76-yard, catch-and-run touchdown included about 65 yards gained after the catch, Smith Schuster eluding cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon and free safety Tarvarius Moore, and a down-field block by tight end Xavier Grimble on inside linebacker Kwon Alexander.

Boswell’s extra point put the Steelers ahead, 13-10.The Steelers had taken a 6-3 lead into the third quarter but it didn’t last long.Rudolph was intercepted on second-and-5 from the Steelers’ 32 on the first possession of the second

half after having been flushed from the pocket and pressured by defensive end Arik Armstead. Cornerback K’Waun Williams’ pick put the 49ers in business at the Steelers’ 38-yard-line.

Wilson Jr.’s 1-yard plunge on third-and-goal from the 1 capped an eight-play drive in 4:02 that gave the 49ers a 10-6 lead.

Cincinnati 3Pittsburgh 27

Boswell capped an 11-play, 60-yard drive that reached the Cincinnati 7-yard line just before halftime with a 29-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 10-3 lead 58 seconds before the break.

The drive stalled when Samuels was stopped for a loss of 4 on third-and-3 from the Bengals’ 7.Boswell improved to 6-for-6 on field goals for the season and has hit at least one in all four games.The Steelers went to the locker room at halftime having converted just one of four third-down attempts

but still had a 16:36-13:24 edge in time of possession.Good field position following a three-and-out from the defense positioned the Steelers for a five-play,

46-yard drive for a touchdown and a 7-3 lead with 10:32 left in the second.After taking over at the Cincinnati 46 following a punt from the Bengals’ 5, Rudolph completed four

passes on four attempts for 43 yards on the march, including a 21-yard catch-and-run touchdown to Conner.

The Bengals turned an early turnover into the first points of the night.Johnson hauled in a short pass from Rudolph on the Steelers’ second offensive snap but lost the ball

after a hit by linebacker Nick Vigil. Bengals safety Jessie Bates III recovered at the Steelers’ 15.Dalton threw into the end zone without success on first down and again on third down and the

Bengals settled for kicker Randy Bullock’s 28-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead with 8:22 left in the first.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers got a much-needed win on Monday night, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-3.

The Steelers were in control from the beginning, with a swarming defense that got to Andy Dalton all night and an offense that moved the ball.

The Wildcat formation the Steelers unveiled for the occasion paid dividends throughout, including on the first possession of the third quarter.

A direct snap to running back Jaylen Samuels turned into a pitch-pass to running back James Conner, who was coming across the back of the formation in motion. Conner bolted for 21 yards to the Cincinnati 2-yard line. From there, Samuels took another direct snap and waltzed into the end zone. Boswell’s extra point upped the Steelers’ lead to 17-3 with 10:26 left in the third.

A 43-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mason Rudolph to wide receiver Diontae Johnson made in 24-3 Steelers the next time they got their hands on the ball. Following an incompletion on first-and-10 from the Bengals’ 43, Rudolph found Johnson uncovered deep in the Cincinnati secondary for his second touchdown pass of the night and the Steelers’ fourth score in four possessions.

Chris Boswell closed out the scoring at 27-3 in the fourth quarter when he hit a 49-yard field goal.Through three quarters the Bengals had been held to 11 first downs and 130 total net yards on 44

offensive plays. Quarterback Andy Dalton was sacked six times in the first three quarters (defensive tackle Cam Heyward and outside linebacker T.J. Watt each had 1.5 sacks).

Inside linebacker Mark Barron intercepted a pass in the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the Steelers’ 13 with 11:02 left in the fourth. It was the Steelers’ second takeaway of the night (Watt recovered a Dalton fumble following a strip-sack by outside linebacker Bud Dupree on second-and-10 from the Steelers’ 18 in the second quarter).

Baltimore 26Pittsburgh 23 (OT)

The Steelers scored the final six points of the first half and went to the locker room after two quarters trailing, 17-13.

An interception of a deflected pass and 10-yard return by S Kameron Kelly gave the Steelers posses-sion at the Ravens’ 16. Kelly was being used periodically a six-defensive backs package on third downs.

The Steelers reached the Ravens 7 on the subsequent possession but lost 5 yards on a second-and-1 Wildcat sweep by RB Jaylen Samuels and then 11 more when Rudolph was sacked on third-and-6. Boswell salvaged a 41-yard field goal on a scoring drive that lost 7 yards but cut the Ravens’ lead to 17-10.

Another interception, this one by CB Mike Hilton, set the Steelers up at the Ravens’ 25 with 33 seconds left prior to halftime. A roughing-the-passer penalty pushed the ball to the 11, where Rudolph threw incomplete into the end zone for Washington.

Boswell’s 29-yard field goal on the last play of the first half drew the Steelers to within four at the break.The Ravens scored on three consecutive possessions after holding the Steelers without a first down

on the game’s opening possession.Baltimore went 50 yards in 10 plays after taking over at its 41-yard line following a punt and 2-yard

return and concluded the march with a 27-yard field goal by Tucker for a 3-0 lead.The Steelers’ next snap ended on an interception thrown by Samuels on a Wildcat pass for Washington.

LB Josh Bynes’ pick set the Ravens up at the Steelers’ 15. RB Mark Ingram finished a four-play series with a 4-yard touchdown run for a 10-0 Baltimore lead with 4:48 left in the first quarter.

The Ravens went on 13-play, 65-yard drive in 6:20 that culminated with an 11-yard touchdown pass from QB Lamar Jackson to WR Marquise Brown for a 17-7 Ravens’ advantage.

The Jackson-to-Brown scoring strike countered a 35-yard touchdown pass from Rudolph to Smith-Schus-ter that cut the Steelers’ deficit to 10-7. Smith-Schuster hauled in Rudolph’s pass at the Baltimore 20 and ran through CB Marlon Humphrey’s attempt to hammer the ball from Smith-Schuster’s grasp at the Ravens’ 10.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers lost an overtime heartbreaker, falling to the Ravens, 26-23.The loss dropped the Steelers to 1-4 on the seasonThe team also lost QB Mason Rudolph, who suffered a concussion in the game. Rudolph left Heinz

Field during the game to be further evaluated at the hospital.The Steelers won the toss in overtime and deferred, putting their defense on the field. The defense

held, giving the offense the ball with QB Devlin Hodges at the helm. Hodges completed a pass to WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, who fumbled. The ball was recovered by Marlon Humphrey.

Seattle would run three plays and gain six yards to set up a 46-yard field goal attempt for K Justin Tucker. The Ravens place-kicker snuck the ball just inside the left upright and Baltimore secured a 26-23 victory.

K Chris Boswell appeared to put the Steelers back in the driver’s seat when he hit a 33-yard field goal with 2:37 to play, going up, 23-20. The key play on the drive was when Hodges scrambled and broke free for a 21-yard gain, with a holding call tacked on to the end of it.

However, the Ravens drove down the field at the end of regulation and Tucker tied it with 10 seconds to play, 23-23, to send the game into overtime.

With the game tied at 20-20, a swarming defense completely shut down the Ravens. Buried at their own one-yard line following a punt, they went no further. The Ravens had to punt, and the Steelers took over at Baltimore’s 45-yard line.

The Steelers took their first lead of the game despite losing Rudolph in the third quarter.Rudolph suffered a concussion on third-and-11 from the Steelers’ 12-yard line while extending the play

and eventually finding WR James Washington for a 26-yard gain while absorbing a helmet-to-helmet hit from Ravens safety Earl Thomas III.

A 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty was tacked on, which gave the Steelers a first-and-10 at the Baltimore 48.

Enter Hodges.The Steelers’ third quarterback of the season hit WR Diontae Johnson for 13 yards and TE Vance

McDonald, this time on a play-action bootleg, for 14 yards to the Baltimore 1. RB James Conner, with LB Tyler Matakevich at fullback, finished off the 10-play, 87-yard drive in 4:40 with a 1-yard touchdown run. Boswell’s extra point made it 20-17 Steelers, with 3:42 left in the third quarter.

The Ravens reached the Steelers’ 9 on their next possession but ultimately settled for a 26-yard field goal from Tucker that tied the game at 20-20.

Pittsburgh 24Los Angeles 17

Bush was at it again on the Chargers’ next possession. He corralled the carom of a Rivers pass intended for wide receiver Keenan Allen that was deflected by defensive lineman Tyson Alualu. Bush’s 6-yard return set the Steelers up at the Chargers’ 40.

Running back James Conner took over from there.Conner touched the ball on seven consecutive snaps (four rushes, three receptions) and finished off

what ended up as a seven-play, 40-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown run. Conner converted third downs on the march with a 12-yard reception on third-and-4 from the Chargers’ 34 and on a 4-yard grab on third-and-4 from the Chargers’ 16. Boswell’s PAT made it 14-0 with 4:29 left in the opening quarter.

The Steelers upped their lead again the next time they got their hands on the football.This time it was Conner hauling in a pass in the flat from Hodges, running through linebacker Jatavis

Brown near the sideline and scampering 26 yards for his second TD of the night and Hodges’ first touchdown pass of his NFL career. The Steelers converted three third downs on the 14-play, 86-yard possession in 9:09 _ as many third downs as they’d converted in each of their first five games _ including one on the scoring strike. Boswell made it 21-0 with 6:34 left in the second quarter.

McLaughlin missed a 43-yard field goal attempt with 32 seconds left in the first half (the ball hit the left upright).

Defensive end Stephon Tuitt (pectoral) left the game early in the first and did not return.Bush went down and stayed down momentarily with 4:03 left in the second (ankle) but eventually

got up and walked off the field. Bush didn’t play in the remainder of the first half but returned for the first defensive possession of the second.

CARSON, Calif. – The Steelers went into Sunday night’s game against the Chargers with an undrafted rookie quarterback in Devlin Hodges and came out with a much needed 24-17 win. The win improves the Steelers to 2-4 as they head into their bye.

The Chargers made it interesting as Philip Rivers hit Hunter Henry for his second touchdown of the game, closing the gap to 24-17 with 1:29 to play. The Chargers got the ball back one last time, but Cam Sutton picked off Rivers to secure the win.

The Chargers scored when Hunter Henry was able to get both feet down in the back of the end zone on a five-yard scoring strike from Philip Rivers. The 10-play, 70-yard drive took 3:23, cutting the lead to 24-10.

The Steelers’ bid for a shutout was stymied when Chargers kicker Chase McLaughlin connected on a 38-yard field goal with 14 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

That cut the visitor’s lead to 24-3.Up 21-0 at the break, the Steelers added on after receiving the kickoff to start the third quarter.Kicker Chris Boswell’s 20-yard field goal with 8:12 left in the third capped a 13-play, 73-yard drive in

6:48 and gave the Steelers a 24-0 lead. The Steelers had achieved a first-and-goal at the Chargers’ 2-yard line but settled for three points after two runs for no gain and a throw-away heave by quarterback Devlin Hodges following an errant shotgun snap on third down.

The Steelers started fast and had the defense to thank for it.The defense opened the scoring when inside linebacker Devin Bush collected a fumble and returned

it 9 yards for a touchdown with 10:51 left in the first quarter. The fumble occurred when quarterback Philip Rivers tried a backwards pass to running back Melvin Gordon in the flat on second-and-10 from the Chargers 21 but sailed the ball over Gordon’s head. Boswell’s extra point made it 7-0, Steelers.

This time, the Dolphins drove 63 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 1:34 left in the first.

The big play was a connection from Fitzpatrick to wide receiver DeVante Parker for 15 yards on third-and-14 from the Miami 43.

The scoring pass was a 12-yard catch-and-run completion to wide receiver Allen Hurns.The Steelers got on the board with 2:45 left in the first half on a 42-yard field goal by Boswell.The scoring drive covered 70 yards over 12 plays, including a Rudolph pass to WR Diontae Johnson

that went for 12 yards on third-and-11 from the Steelers’ 5, and a 34-yard gain to Smith-Schuster on third-and-5 from the Steelers’ 45.

A Dolphins’ turnover gave the Steelers a chance to get closer prior to halftime, and the Steelers took full advantage.

Fitzpatrick’s pass for tight end Nick O’Leary on second-and-6 from the Miami 44 with 1:22 left in the second quarter bounced off O’Leary and was intercepted by Minkah Fitzpatrick. His 6-yard return set the Steelers up at the 50 with 1:13 left before the break.

Rudolph found Johnson for a 45-yard score on third-and-20 from the Miami 45 that brought the Steelers to within 14-10 with 17 seconds remaining in the half. Johnson caught the ball 2 yards past the line of scrimmage and covered the last 43 yards on the ground.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers came back from a 14-point deficit, putting 27 unanswered points on the board, to defeat the Miami Dolphins, 27-14.

The Steelers offense came to life late in the first half and never looked back as they improved their record to 3-4 in the season, keeping them right in the hunt in the AFC North.

Indianapolis 24Pittsburgh 26

“I just missed it,” Vinatieri said. “I have to do better than that. Just pulled it to the left.”His mistake dropped the Colts out of first in the AFC South. Indianapolis (5-3) now trails Houston

(6-3) by a half-game and may have to go forward without quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who left in the second quarter with a left knee injury and did not return. Veteran Brian Hoyer came on and threw for 168 yards and three scores, but his pick-six to Fitzpatrick helped the Steelers get off the mat as the Colts found themselves on the wrong side of the edge for the first time in a month.

Indianapolis came in having won five of six by a combined 19 points. Each of the Colts’ eight games this season has been decided by a touchdown or less.

“I think that’s the NFL, really,” Hoyer said after his first extended action since Oct. 15, 2017, when he played for San Francisco. “Pretty much every Sunday each game is going to come down to that fourth quarter.”

This time, the Steelers survived.Rudolph threw for 191 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Backup running back Trey Edmunds

ran for a career-high 73 yards and Chris Boswell kicked four field goals as the Steelers held on despite mustering just 273 total yards. Yet it was just enough thanks to a defense that forced three turnovers and produced five sacks. The Colts came in having allowed 11 sacks all year.

“It was great to beat that team,” Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree said. “A lot of people said we hadn’t really beat `a team’ -- beaten anybody with a winning record -- so we had to go out and show that we had it in us to go out there to compete with a team like that.”

PITTSBURGH – Mike Tomlin sighed and let out a sentence that, after 13 years on the job, surprised the Pittsburgh Steelers coach for the sincerity with which he meant it. Considering what his team has endured during the first half of a wildly uneven season, it was hard to blame him.

“It’s good to be sitting at 4-4,” Tomlin said after the Steelers held on to beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-24 on Sunday. “I never thought I’d hear myself say that.”

He never thought he’d have to. But that was before franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was lost for the year in mid-September with a right elbow injury. Before backup Mason Rudolph was knocked unconscious against Baltimore. Before a 1-4 start that had the Steelers on the brink of irrelevance.

Not so much anymore.Pittsburgh is very much alive in the muddled AFC after pulling out a third straight victory, one built

on another electrifying play by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick -- whose 96-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter revived the Steelers after another slow start -- and a dash of luck when Indianapolis kicker Adam Vinatieri’s go-ahead 43-yard field goal attempt with 1:14 remaining was an ugly, low snap-hook that went nowhere near the uprights in the open end of Heinz Field.

“We know he’s a great kicker,” Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward said. “We just tried to get after him, get your hands up, see if we could get another one.”

The Steelers had blocked an extra point attempt by Vinatieri in the third quarter. The 47-year-old managed to get the ball over a sea of outstretched hands this time, but the NFL all-time leading scorer’s 707th career attempt started left and stayed left. A week after his 55-yarder in the waning seconds against Denver propelled the Colts (5-3) to their third straight victory, Vinatieri could only shrug his shoulders after missing his fifth of the season in 17 attempts, his most in any season since 2012.

STEELERS-RAMS

Los Angeles 12Pittsburgh 17

“It’s crazy to just see him back there making plays on the ball all the time,” Pittsburgh linebacker Bud Dupree said. “Not one time but all the time. Every game. Every game Minkah is making big plays on the back end.”

The Steelers have needed nearly every one during a four-game winning streak that has helped them emerge from a 1-4 start. Pittsburgh has done it despite an offense that remains very much a work in progress. The Steelers again struggled to move the ball against Los Angeles, managing just 273 yards while playing without starting running backs James Conner and Benny Snell Jr.

Thirteen penalties and a handful of drops didn’t help. Yet Pittsburgh remains in the mix in the AFC anyway thanks to Rudolph’s ability to avoid major mistakes and a defense that has regained its swagger following Fitzpatrick’s arrival. Rudolph finished 22 of 38 for 242 yards, including a 3-yard lob to James Washington in the first quarter made him the ninth quarterback since the 1970 merger to throw a touchdown pass in each of his first seven games.

Yet Rudolph knows the defense -- which already has 26 takeaways this season after managing just 15 all of last year -- could use a little help.

“They’re playing like the ‘85 Bears,” Rudolph said. “They are forcing turnovers every other series it seems like. We understand it’s a team game. We’re getting there. Today was a big step.”

PITTSBURGH – The ball fluttered into the air and hung there for a split second. When it came back down to earth, it landed where it always seems to these days for the Pittsburgh Steelers: the seemingly omnipresent arms of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Pittsburgh’s decision to send a 2020 first-round draft pick to Miami in mid-September in exchange for Fitzpatrick just hours after losing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the season in mid-September seemed gutsy at best and borderline reckless at worst. What if the Steelers struggled without their fran-chise cornerstone? What if the bottom fell out and the draft capital they needed to find Roethlisberger’s successor belonged to the Dolphins instead?

They’re not asking those questions anymore. Not with the Steelers suddenly rolling and their do-ev-erything free safety in the middle of it all.

Fitzpatrick returned a fumble 43 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and added a game-sealing pick in the final seconds to close out a brutish 17-12 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, spoiling Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald’s homecoming in the process.

“Minkah’s making all the plays,” said Steelers cornerback Joe Haden, whose second interception of the season was among Pittsburgh’s four takeaways. “Big plays. Impact plays. There’s nothing else you can say. You watch the tape and see his impact is special.”

Fitzpatrick pounced on a Jared Goff fumble and sprinted to the end zone to give the Steelers a 14-7 lead, his second touchdown in as many games following a tide-turning pick six against Indianapolis last week. His clinching interception after Goff pass intended for Robert Woods was swatted away by Haden gave Fitzpatrick six takeaways -- five picks and one fumble recoveries -- in seven games with the Steelers (5-4).

Pittsburgh 7Cleveland 21

The incident overshadowed a win that put Cleveland back in the playoff picture and breathed some life into a season that had been slipping away.

“It feels like we lost,” Mayfield said.Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was shown replays of the brawl on the NFL Network set.“It’s ugly,” Beckham said. “It’s not something we want in the NFL.”Steelers coach Mike Tomlin refused to discuss the disturbing end-game situation.Several Pittsburgh players were eager to give their views on what happened.“I don’t know how he got to the point that it’s OK to use a helmet as a weapon,” said Steelers defensive

tackle Cameron Heyward. “I know we play a sport that’s violent, but it should never have gotten handled like that. That dumb stuff shouldn’t be allowed.

“For someone to use a helmet as a weapon is uncalled for. I know you’ve got to ask me the question, but he’s got to answer for that.”

Before the ugly ending, Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 1-yard plunge as Cleveland held on to defeat the banged-up Steelers for just the fourth time in 10 years and improved to 2-0 in the AFC North for the first time.

The Browns (4-6) have won two in a row after dropping four straight, a skid that put coach Freddie Kitchens’ job in jeopardy.

But Mayfield’s 8-yard TD pass to undrafted rookie tight end Stephen Carlson with 5:25 left helped clinch a rare win over the rival Steelers. And a softer upcoming schedule has eased the pressure on Kitchens and given the Browns some hope they can end the NFL’s longest playoff drought.

The loss was especially damaging to the Steelers (5-5).Pittsburgh lost its top two playmakers as running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu

Smith-Schuster (concussion) suffered injuries in the second quarter and didn’t return.Without them, Rudolph didn’t have enough help and threw four interceptions.In the third quarter, Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson got concussed from a vicious hit by

Browns safety Damarious Randall, who was ejected.Browns running back Nick Chubb had 92 yards and went over 1,000 this season.Despite the injuries, the Steelers were within 14-7 entering the fourth quarter after Rudolph connected

with Jaylen Samuels for a 3-yard touchdown pass.

CLEVELAND – The Browns were seconds away from a season-changing win when Myles Garrett lost his composure in a moment of rage rarely seen on an NFL field.

Garrett tore off Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet, wildly swung it and hit the QB in the head, a shocking act that will likely result in a lengthy suspension for Cleveland’s star defensive end and perhaps cost the Browns any chance of making the playoffs.

Garrett’s outburst came with 8 seconds left in Cleveland’s 21-7 win over the rival Steelers on Thursday night, a game that will not be remembered for anything that happened in the first 59 minutes.

Garrett faces a stiff NFL suspension and Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey will likely be disciplined for kicking Garrett in the head.

“I lost my cool and I regret it,” Garrett said. “It’s going to come back to hurt our team. The guys who jumped into the scrum, I appreciate my team having my back, but it never should have gotten to that point.

“It’s on me.”Players from both sidelines spilled on the field during the melee, which began after Garrett wrestled

Rudolph to the ground well after he completed a short pass on a meaningless play. Garrett, Pouncey and Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi were ejected.

Rudolph got his hand on Garrett’s helmet first as the players grappled on the ground, but Garrett escalated the brawl after he got back on his feet. He yanked the helmet off Rudolph and slammed it into the top of the quarterback’s head.

Rudolph threw his arms in the air in disbelief after the impact, and Pouncey retaliated by punching and kicking Garrett.

“I thought it was pretty cowardly and bush league,” Rudolph said. “I’m not going to back down from any bully. I felt like I had a bone to pick with him. I appreciate the line always having my back, but I was angry.”

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield called Garrett’s actions “inexcusable” and Fox commentator Troy Aikman said they were “barbaric.”

Mayfield said he didn’t speak with Garrett, but he expects his teammate to be accountable.“This is a physical, violent game and there’s moments if you don’t keep your cool, bad things can happen

and he knows that. It’s inexcusable and he knows that,” Mayfield said. “There’s no other way around it, he’s going to own up to it and he’s going to handle it and this locker room is going to have to come together because this is going to be a soap opera on the outside much like the media has portrayed us to be for the whole season.”

Pittsburgh 16Cincinnati 10

Hodges ran an offense missing three stars after a 21-7 loss to Cleveland that ended with ugliness -- Myles Garrett clubbing Rudolph with the QB’s own helmet. Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey served the first of his two-game suspension Sunday for kicking and punching Garrett in the melee.

Also, receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was out with a concussion and running back James Conner had a shoulder injury from the Cleveland game. The Steelers got what they needed out of what was left, with Hodges leading the way. He went 5 of 11 or 118 yards with two sacks. Rookie Benny Snell Jr. returned from a knee injury and ran for 98 yards.

If the Bengals were going to end that long losing streak against their Ohio River rival, this was their chance. Instead, they saw another one slip away in the end, just like all the others.

The Bengals repeatedly dodged disaster in the first half and led 7-3, only their third halftime lead this season. They fumbled the opening kickoff but recovered. Finley was sacked and fumbled on Cincinnati’s second possession, but Giovani Bernard fell on the ball. Finley later was sacked just in front of the goal line, avoiding a safety.

Finley was 12 of 26 for 192 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown pass to Boyd.

CINCINNATI – Devlin “Duck” Hodges took over for struggling Mason Rudolph and threw a 79-yard touchdown pass Sunday, sparking the depleted Pittsburgh Steelers to a 16-10 victory that kept the Cincinnati Bengals the only winless team in the NFL.

Hodges connected with James Washington on the game-turning play in the third quarter, leaving Pittsburgh (6-5) with a quarterback decision as it moves forward without Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers’ defense has steadied them through the transition, and it had a major impact in Pitts-burgh’s 10th straight win over the hapless Bengals (0-11), who set franchise records for worst start and longest losing streak.

Tyler Boyd made a catch and was stripped by Devin Bush at the Steelers 8-yard line in the fourth quarter, preserving the lead. Bud Dupree sacked Ryan Finley and forced a fumble that he recovered with 2:38 left, closing it out.

What’s left of the Steelers’ offense -- hollowed out by injuries and a suspension -- struggled in the first half and prompted coach Mike Tomlin to switch from Rudolph to Hodges, who provided an immediate boost. His touchdown pass to Washington gave the Steelers a 10-7 lead and got thousands of Terrible Towels twirling at Paul Brown Stadium.

Hodges filled in for one game after Rudolph suffered a concussion and directed a 24-17 win over the Chargers on Oct. 13. Tomlin went back to Rudolph as soon as he was healthy.

Now, he’s got a big decision as the Steelers try to stay in the playoff chase.

Cleveland 13Pittsburgh 20

Boswell’s extra point put the Steelers ahead, 17-10.The Steelers scored the final 10 points of the first half and the teams went to their locker rooms with

the game tied at 10-10.Hodges finished off a two-minute drive late in the second with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Wash-

ington, who made an acrobatic catch in the end zone despite a pass interference flag on Cleveland nickel cornerback T.J Carrie. Boswell’s extra point tied the game at 10-10.

The Steelers had taken possession following a punt and 13-yard return by wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Steelers’ 31-yard line with 1:48 remaining in the second quarter. Hodges hit Washington for 6 yards, Cain for 5, threw incomplete and found wide receiver Tevin Jones for 28 prior to the scoring strike to Washington. The touchdown drive covered 69 yards in five plays.

Boswell had gotten the Steelers on the board with a 39-yard field goal with 2:56 left in the second.The big play on their 10-play, 62-yard march in 4:44 was a 31-yard completion to Washington on

third-and-9 from the Steelers’ 18. The Browns had jumped offside on the play and Hodges used the “free play” to target Washington deep down the left sideline.

Running back Jaylen Samuels quarterbacked consecutive “Wildcat” snaps on the drive and ran twice for a combined 12 yards. The “Wildcat” plays followed a 17-yard gain by Johnson on a reverse.

The Browns had taken a 10-0 lead on a 15-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass from Mayfield to running back Kareem Hunt on third-and-5 from the Steelers’ 15. Hunt broke attempted tackles by cornerback Joe Haden and safety Cam Sutton on the way to the end zone and Seibert converted for the 10-0 advantage with 7:40 left in the second.

Seibert had opened the scoring with a 31-yard field goal that concluded the Browns’ 13-play, 62-yard, game-opening drive in 7:29.

PITTSBURGH – After being down early, the Steelers fought back and defeated the Cleveland Browns, 20-13, at Heinz Field to improve their record to 7-5 on the season, while the Browns drop to 5-7. The win keeps the Steelers in the playoff hunt with four regular season games remaining.

Devlin Hodges made his second NFL start, guiding the offense with a 30-yard touchdown pass to James Washington, while Benny Snell added a one-yard touchdown run.

The Browns had one final shot with 1:45 to play. Minkah Fitzpatrick broke up Baker Mayfield’s first down pass. Bud Dupree was called for roughing the passer giving the Browns a first down. Joe Haden came up with the play of the game when he intercepted Mayfield to secure the win.

After the Browns’ closed the gap with the field goal, Devlin Hodges’ pass was intercepted by Terrance Mitchell and returned 28 yards to the Steelers 30-yard line. The defense stepped up, though. On third down Javon Hargrave sacked Baker Mayfield for an eight-yard loss. Austin Seibert punted, and the Browns down the ball at the one-yard line. The Steelers were able to get out of the hole with a run by Benny Snell and a 14-yard completion to Diontae Johnson. A third down completion to Vance McDonald also proved to be huge. But with two minutes to play the Steelers weren’t able to convert and had to punt.

The Browns closed to within 20-13 on a 34-yard field goal by kicker Austin Seibert with 7:30 left in the fourth quarter. The Steelers’ defense held for three consecutive snaps after Cleveland had achieved a first-and-10 from the Steelers’ 14-yard line. The drive covered 61 yards in seven plays in 2:48.

The first turnover generated by the Steelers’ defense helped establish a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter.

Outside linebacker Bud Dupree’s sack of quarterback Baker Mayfield and forced fumble and defensive tackle Cam Heyward’s recovery set the Steelers up at the Browns’ 46-yard line with 4:49 left in the third. The Steelers drove as far as the Cleveland 3, but the drive stalled and kicker Chris Boswell finished it with a 29-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 20-10 advantage.

Running back Benny Snell Jr.’s 1-yard touchdown run gave the Steelers their first lead with 10:36 left in the third.

Snell’s rumble capped a seven-play, 69-yard drive in 4:24 that opened the second half. Quarterback Devlin Hodges beat a blitz when he found wide receiver James Washington in single coverage by cornerback Denzel Ward for 44 yards to the Cleveland 15. A third-and-7 fade from the Browns’ 12 into the end zone for wide receiver Deon Cain drew a pass interference flag and set the Steelers up at the Browns’ 1.

Pittsburgh 23Arizona 17

Linebacker T.J. Watt helped preserve the 10-point margin when he intercepted Murray in the end zone on fourth-and-2 from the Steelers’ 6 with 12:26 left in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers took a 13-10 advantage into the locker room at halftime.Boswell’s second field goal, this one from 37 yards out, regained the lead for the Steelers on the

final play of the second quarter. The drive covered 56 yards on six plays in 1:51. The big plays were a 22-yard scramble by Hodges to the Arizona 41 and an 18-yard completion from Hodges to Johnson to the Cardinals’ 23.

Offensive tackle Matt Feiler helped avert disaster on the march when a recovered a Hodges fumble forced by linebacker Chandler Jones.

Johnson had given the Steelers a two-score lead when he returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown with 2:52 left in the first quarter. Boswell’s extra point made it 10-0, Steelers.

The visitors had opened the scoring on a 30-yard field goal by Boswell that capped a 13-play, 66-yard drive in 8:00. The possession had been extended when Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks was called for a personal foul for unnecessary toughness after a pass from Hodges to running back Trey Edmunds had gained 7 on third-and-13 from the Steelers’ 47.

Arizona got on the board on a 30-yard field goal from kicker Zane Gonzalez with 11:15 left in the second.The Cardinals had taken over at the Steelers’ 34 following a fumble by running back Benny Snell Jr.

and a recovery by linebacker Terrell Suggs. Arizona achieved a first-and-goal from the Steelers’ 3 on the nine-play, 22-yard drive in 4:23 but ultimately settled for three points and a 10-3 deficit.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The Steelers continue to stay in the playoff hunt thanks to a 23-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The win improves the Steelers record to 8-5 on the season and keeps them in the wild card race.

The defense forced three Kyler Murray interceptions, something that isn’t common as the rookie quarterback had only six going into the game. Devlin Hodges managed the game cleanly completing 16 of 19 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown and no turnovers.

With 1:42 to play and no timeouts, the defense came up with their best stance of the day. Cam Heyward sacked Kyler Murray for a five-yard loss, and Bud Dupree came back with a sack for a loss of seven. On third-and-22 Steve Nelson had Larry Fitzgerald covered for the incompletion and on fourth down Joe Haden picked off Murray, his second interception of the day, to secure the win.

The Steelers went on an 11-play, 77-yard drive late in the game, and despite getting down to the seven-yard line had to settle for a 25-yard field goal by Chris Boswell. The field goal extending the Steelers lead to 23-17 with 1:42 to play.

T.J. Watt came up with a huge play, intercepting Kyler Murray in the end zone to kill a drive. But the offense sputter on the next drive, and on fourth-and-eight Jordan Berry decided to run instead of punt and was tackled for a loss at the 32-yard line The Cardinals took over and made it hurt. Murray hit David Johnson for a 24-yard touchdown to cut the Steelers lead to 20-17 with 6:44 to play in the game.

Cornerback Joe Haden’s interception in the third quarter helped the Steelers re-establish a 10-point lead.Haden jumped a pass from quarterback Kyler Murray intended for running back Chase Edmonds on

second-and-5 from the Steelers’ 26-yard line and the Steelers took over at the 27. The offense responded with an 11-play, 73-yard drive in 6:06 for a touchdown. Quarterback Devlin Hodges hit wide receiver Diontae Johnson for the score on second-and-gal from the Arizona 2. Kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point gave the Steelers a 20-10 lead with 2:00 left in the third.

An 11-yard, catch-and-run touchdown from quarterback Devlin Hodges to running back James Conner capped a seven-play, 69-yard drive in 3:42. Kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point put the Steelers ahead, 10-7, with 11:18 left in the third quarter. Hodges hit wide receiver Diontae Johnson for 31 yards (wide receiver Tevin Jones recovered Johnson’s fumble at the end of the play) and wide receiver James Washington for 7 on the first two snaps of the possession. Tight end Zach Gentry’s first catch of the season went for 4 yards on third-and-3 from the Bills’ 31. Conner had a 17-yard run two plays before the touchdown.

A forced fumble by outside linebacker T.J. Watt and a recovery by nickel cornerback Mike Hilton halted Buffalo’s subsequent possession at the Steelers’ 31.

The Bills turned good field position following a 22-yard punt into the game’s first score early in the second quarter.

Buffalo took over at the Steelers’ 40-yard line with 3:45 left in the first quarter and marched 40 yards in nine plays in 4:23, with quarterback Josh Allen finishing the drive on a 1-yard touchdown run. Allen kept the drive alive when he converted a fourth-and-6 from the Steelers’ 36 on a 10-yard completion to wide receiver John Brown. Singletary gained 3 on third-and-2 from the Steelers’ 18 and then 14 to the Steelers’ 1 prior to Allen’s TD run and Hauschka’s conversion.

The Steelers countered with a 49-yard field goal from Boswell that trimmed the Bills’ lead to 7-3 with 11:26 left in the second. The drive covered 41 yards in six plays in 2:56. The big play was a 34-yard completion from Hodges to Washington on the first snap of the possession that advanced the ball to the Buffalo 38.

The Steelers missed an opportunity to cut the lead again or take the lead after an interception and 33-yard return by cornerback Steven Nelson produced a first-and-10 from the Bills’ 20 with 2:28 remaining prior to halftime. But a Wildcat snap to Conner on first-and-goal from the Bills’ 10 ultimately resulted in a hand-off to Johnson, a forced fumble by Bills defensive end Trent Murphy and a recovery by Bills safety Jordan Poyer.

The Bills ended up possessing the ball for 19:06 in the first half to the Steelers’ 10:54.Buffalo also had edges in total net yards (131-64) and first downs (11-5) in the first two quarters.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers were unable to fight back from a late deficit, falling to the Buffalo Bills 17-10 at Heinz Field. The loss drops the Steelers record to 8-6 on the season.

The defense held after the interception, giving the offense one last chance. The offense wasn’t able to capitalize, though. Another interception in the end zone gave the Bills the win.

The Steelers had a shot late to take the lead and the offense got going when Devlin Hodges hit Diontae Johnson for 10 yards. He connected with Nick Vannett for seven yards. Faced with a key third down, with 3:10 to play in the game, Hodges and James Washington hooked up for a huge 32-yard completion to the Bills’ 26-yard line. A false start, an incomplete pass and a sack gave the Steelers an unenviable third-and-20 at the 36-yard line. Vannett was able to get some of the yardage back on a 13-yard reception with 2:00 to play in the game. On fourth-and-seven, Hodges pass was intercepted in the end zone.

The Steelers went three-and-out on three incompletions on the possession after the Bills tied the game, putting the onus on their defense to hold them off. And they did just that. The Steelers defense returned the favor, forcing a three-and-out and giving the offense an opportunity with 5:13 to play in the game.

The Bills broke a 10-10 tie on a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh Allen to tight end Tyler Kroft with 7:55 left in the fourth quarter. Kicker Stephen Hauschka’s extra point gave Buffalo a 17-10 lead.

The big play on the six-play, 70-yard drive in 2:08 was a 40-yard completion from Allen to wide receiver John Brown on the first play of the march. Brown subsequently recovered a fumble by running back Devin Singletary at the Steelers’ 14-yard line.

The tackle of the game through the first three quarters may have been made by Steelers offensive tackle Matt Feiler.

Feiler chased down Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White at the end of an interception and 49-yard return and forced him out of bounds at the Steelers’ 18 with 1:24 left in the third quarter. Buffalo’s subsequent possession netted zero yards on seven plays, including three consecutive runs that lost yardage after the Bills had achieved a first-and-goal at the Steelers’ 8. Buffalo ultimately settled for a 36-yard field goal by Hauschka and a 10-10 tie with 12:23 left in the fourth.

The Steelers achieved their first lead of the night on the first possession of the second half.

His deep pass for James Washington on third-and-7 from the Jets 44 was knocked away by Marcus Maye in the end zone. On fourth down, Hodges’ pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster fell incomplete in front of a MetLife Stadium crowd that appeared to be at least half-filled by Steelers fans.

“I’m still going to be confident,” Hodges insisted. “I can’t let these things get to me. You’ve got to learn from them. I’ve got the job done before and I just have to do it again.”

Smith-Schuster, who returned after missing four games with a knee injury, had two catches for 22 yards.Former Steelers star wide receiver Hines Ward, now an offensive assistant on Adam Gase’s staff with

the Jets, said he hoped to celebrate a win with a Gatorade shower -- and he got one moments after New York’s final defensive stop sealed the win.

Meanwhile, Bell helped deal his former team’s playoff hopes a big blow, running for 72 yards, including 7 on a big third-down play in the fourth quarter, on 25 carries. Bell spent his first six NFL seasons in Pittsburgh, but after sitting out all last season in a contract dispute, signed with the Jets (6-9) in the offseason. Bell also had four catches for 21 yards.

“You know, every win feels great,” Bell said. “But this one had a little extra topping on it.”Sam Darnold went 16 of 26 for 183 yards and a touchdown to Robby Anderson.The Jets, who blew a 10-0 second-quarter advantage, retook the lead on Sam Ficken’s 37-yard field

goal with 6 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. The drive was helped by rookie tight end Trevon Wesco’s 32-yard catch-and-run that put New York at the Steelers 19.

Ficken’s 42-yarder with 3:11 left made it 16-10. The drive was kept alive by Bell’s 7-yard run on third-and-5 from the Steelers 39.

“It was a dogfight,” Darnold said. “We knew that coming in and we did our job.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Pittsburgh Steelers’ path to the postseason just got a lot more difficult.They entered their game Sunday against former teammate Le’Veon Bell and the New York Jets with

their playoff destiny in their hands. They fumbled that away with an ugly 16-10 loss.“Not a lot to say, and appropriately so,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “This time of year is put up or shut up

time and we didn’t get the job done today. We accept responsibility for that and the ramifications of it.”The Steelers (8-7) now need to win next Sunday at Baltimore, the AFC’s top seed, just to stay alive. They

also need Tennessee, which is also 8-7 and currently holds the final wild-card spot, to lose at Houston.“We’re done worrying about what other people are doing,” linebacker T.J. Watt said. “I think it’s time, and

it’s been that way the whole season, to focus on us. Figure stuff out and find ways to win football games.”The Steelers also have more injury concerns as running back James Conner, center Maurkice Pouncey

and quarterback Mason Rudolph all left with injuries. All three will be evaluated and their availability for the game against the Ravens is uncertain.

Conner, who left in the second quarter with a thigh injury, had 32 yards on six carries before leaving. Pouncey hurt his left knee at the end of the third quarter.

“That’s what we’re paid to do,” Tomlin said of dealing with three key injuries. “We embrace that. We’re professionals. We’ve got quality depth. The standard of expectation doesn’t change. We didn’t do enough today.”

Pittsburgh also has a big-time quarterback quandary. Devlin Hodges was benched in this one after throwing two interceptions, but came back early in the fourth quarter Rudolph hurt his left shoulder.

Hodges was 11 of 17 for 84 yards and the two interceptions, while Rudolph was 14 of 20 for 129 yards and a touchdown to Diontae Johnson that helped the Steelers erase a 10-0 deficit to tie it at halftime.

2019 SEASON RECAP | 67

Playing much of the season without their longtime leader, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers closed with a three-game skid in which they scored a collective 30 points. In this one, Pittsburgh could muster only 168 yards of offense.

“Obviously, not the way we wanted to perform today,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “Just disappointing, but there’s been a lot of disappointments this season.”

Baltimore’s first touchdown followed a fumble by Steelers rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges. The Ravens also scored on special teams when Steelers punter Jordan Berry couldn’t handle the wet football and Jordan Richards recovered the fumble for a touchdown. Fifteen seconds later, the Ravens tacked on a safety when Hodges was called for intentional grounding in his end zone.

Benny Snell rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown in place of injured James Conner, but Hodges offered no air support. Hodges went 9 for 25 for 95 yards, and his fumble on a second-quarter sack set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Justice Hill for a 16-7 lead.

Justin Tucker kicked four field goals for the Ravens, who did just enough offensively with backup Robert Griffin III at quarterback. RG3 completed 11 of 20 passes for 96 yards and ran for 50 yards.

Jackson drew cheers from the drenched fans when he was featured on the scoreboard screen, smiling from under a hooded cape while seated next to Ingram. Jackson and Ingram are a big reason the Ravens set an NFL record for yards rushing in a season, topping the previous mark of 3,165 by the 1978 New England Patriots. The record now stands at 3,296 yards.

“But it’s not a Super Bowl,” Harbaugh said. “That’s what they remember you for.”The old mark fell on a 9-yard run by Gus Edwards in the second quarter. Edwards finished with a

career-high 130 yards on 21 carries, and Baltimore amassed 223 yards on the ground.It was the ninth time the Ravens reached the 200-yard mark rushing. Hill chipped in with a career-best

39 and Griffin’s 50 yards were his most on the ground since Dec. 1, 2013, with Washington.

BALTIMORE – Soaked to the core after standing the rain for well over three hours, coach John Harbaugh smiled broadly once the Baltimore Ravens wrapped up the finest regular season in franchise history by playing hard and effectively in a game that had absolutely no bearing on the team’s playoff stature.

“That puts an exclamation point on an excellent season,” Harbaugh declared in the wake of the Ravens’ 12th straight victory, a 28-10 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The game meant far more to the Steelers (8-8) than the Ravens (14-2), who had already locked up the top seed in the AFC and rested seven key players.

No matter. Baltimore was looking to better the 13-3 record of the 2006 squad, and the Ravens never go easy when Pittsburgh comes to town.

“We definitely had to win this game. It means a lot to us to be 14-2 this year,” cornerback Jimmy Smith said. “It’s a Steelers game, too. It’s not the Titans or something.”

Harbaugh placed seven starters on the inactive list -- including quarterback Lamar Jackson, injured running back Mark Ingram (calf ), guard Marshal Yanda and safety Earl Thomas.

All seven players, six of whom were voted to the Pro Bowl, should return to action on the weekend of Jan. 11-12, when Baltimore opens postseason play following a first-round bye.

“This is the best team in football during the regular season. There’s no doubt about that,” Harbaugh said. “That’s done. But that doesn’t count anything toward the next season.”

He was, of course, referring to the playoffs. Baltimore was eliminated in the opening round last year, but expectations are much higher this time around.

Pittsburgh entered the game needing help to fulfill its quest to become only the seventh team since 1970 to reach the playoffs after an 0-3 start.

The easiest route for Pittsburgh to qualify was a victory over Baltimore combined with a Tennessee loss to Houston. The Titans, however, won 35-14 to earn the final AFC wild-card slot. The Steelers could have gotten in with a loss, but all those equations included Tennessee losing.
