PITTSBURGH 31, GREEN BAY 28
NOV. 26, 2017
HEINZ FIELD (62,147)
PITTSBURGH – The Steelers sealed a 31-28 victory over Green
Bay with a 53-yard field goal from K Chris Boswell - a career long
and the longest field goal from a Steeler in Heinz Field history.
Pittsburgh found the end zone on its opening possession
for the second week in a row when QB Ben Roethlisberger
connected with TE Xavier Grimble on a 1-yard touchdown
pass. After an unsuccessful extra point attempt, the Packers
pulled ahead 14-6 with a pair of touchdown passes from
Green Bay QB Brett Hundley on back-to-back Packers' drives.
Pittsburgh tied things up with a 17-yard touchdown pass from
Roethlisberger to WR Martavis Bryant, followed by a successful
two-point conversion on a pass from Roethlisberger to WR Antonio
Brown. But the Packers pulled ahead again on the opening drive
of the second half when Green Bay WR Davante Adams broke
free after a pass from Hundley, resulting in a 55-yard touchdown.
An interception from Roethlisberger gave Green Bay an
opportunity to increase its lead, but a pair of sacks on Hundley
by Steelers DEs L.T. Walton and Cameron Heyward gave
Pittsburgh the ball back. The Steelers capitalized on the ensuing
drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Brown.
A second sack from Heyward on third down forced the Packers
to go three-and-out on their next drive, setting up Pittsburgh to
take it's first lead since the first quarter with a touchdown pass
from Roethlisberger to Brown - Roethlisberger's fourth touchdown
pass and Brown's second touchdown catch of the night.
Once again, the Packers responded with a touchdown of
their own, tying the game at 28 with 2:02 remaining in the fourth
quarter. Pittsburgh was forced to punt on the following drive, but
the Steelers defense kept the Packers at bay with the help of a
6-yard sack on Hundley by rookie LB T.J. Watt, which allowed
the offense to get the ball back with 0:17 remaining in regulation.
Adiving catch by Brown on a 23-yard pass from Roethlisberger along
the Steelers' sideline set up Boswell's game-winning 53-yard field goal.
Brown finished the game with 10 catches for 169 yards,
while RB Le'Veon Bell amassed 183 yards from scrimmage
and set a Steelers record with 12 catches - the most
by a running back in a single game in franchise history.

DEC. 10, 2017
HEINZ FIELD (60,069)
PITTSBURGH – QB Ben Roethlisberger completed
44-of-66 passes for 506 yards, two touchdowns and no
interceptions in the Steelers 39-38 divisional win over the
Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, to clinch the AFC North crown.
Pittsburgh took an early 14-0 lead after back-to-back
touchdowns by RB Le'Veon Bell. The Ravens responded with 14
points of their own, but a pair of field goals from K Chris Boswell
allowed the Steelers to maintain a 20-14 lead going into halftime.
When play resumed, the Ravens pulled ahead
with 17-straight points and held Pittsburgh to
a field goal following a 15-play 80-yard drive.
The Steelers recovered in the fourth quarter when
Roethlisberger found FB Roosevelt Nix in the end zone on
a 1-yard touchdown pass - the first touchdown of Nix's career.
With the Baltimore leading by two, Ravens RB Javorius
Allen extended the lead with a 9-yard touchdown run.
Late in the third quarter, the Steelers snapped back with an 11-
yard touchdown run from Bell, his third scoring play of the night.
W i t h j u s t 0 : 4 2 l e f t t o p l a y, a 4 6 - y a r d f i e l d g o a l
from Boswell pushed the Steelers past the Ravens and
sealed a 39-38 victory. The kick was Boswell's fourth
game-winner of 2017, within one minute of regulation.
