Kenny Pickett tossed a three-yard score pass to Diontae Johnson with 4:02 excess and the Pittsburgh Steelers slipped past the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Thursday.
The Steelers (5-3) returned quickly from a horrendous difficulty to Jacksonville on Sunday by doing what they’ve done sufficiently continually this season: stayed nearby with the final product of hauling it out long haul. Four of Pittsburgh’s five overpowers have come in matches they followed entering the last quarter.
Pickett battles periodically while managing a rib injury on any occasion it happens late, finishing 19 of 30 for 160 yards, including a 32-yard strike to Johnson down the right sideline in a hurry-ahead drive. Running back Jaylen Warren had 112 yards of complete offense, including a 22-yard run down the sideline that kept up with setting up the productive score.
Tennessee’s fledgling quarterback Will Levis played well in his second NFL start yet couldn’t match the power of his concealed, four-score pearl against Atlanta. Levis tossed for 262 yards yet his 39th and last pass turned out to be the major catch of his occupation when Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander took out a pass at the objective line with six seconds staying to seal it.
Titans wide finder Treylon Burks has pulled away the field with fairly over two minutes to go when he landed hard on the Acrisure Field turf after strangely endeavoring to pull in a fourth-down throw from Levis. The second-year star lay on the Acrisure Field turf for a couple of moments while being paid special attention to by clinical staff from the two social gatherings. He was pulled away from the field right by and by and had improvement in all of exceptionally far. The Titans said Burks had full development in the entire of his farthest places, it was watched out for on the Amazon Transmission.
The Steelers moved grieved subverting facilitator Matt Canada from the orchestrating box to the sideline to assist with giving radiance to a unit that started the night close to the lower part of the relationship in each colossal quantifiable class.
The impetus returns were locking in. Pickett worked with a 78-yard drive that wrapped up with a 10-yard score run on Pittsburgh’s concealed having a spot, whenever Steelers at first have appeared close to the end zone on their central drive during a game Pickett began over the long haul a year.
At any rate, it wasn’t reasonable. While there were pockets of progress all over, Pickett battled with his accuracy now and again and the offense returned to the walk that is changed into its drawing.
The Titans would overall take a 13-10 halftime lead behind some organized play by Levis and Derrick Henry’s brilliant kind of wrath. Henry scored on a two-yard skip – with 305lb saw tackle Jeffery Simmons filling in as lead blocker – and Levis later ran the two-minute offense steadily to set up a 36-yard field objective by People to put Tennessee up at the break.
The parties exchanged field objectives the second from last quarter – Pittsburgh’s after-wide finder George Pickens neglected to get his left foot down for what ought to have been a score gathering – with People’s third field objective setting the Titans up 16-13 heading into the fourth.
Right where the Steelers required them.
