The Pittsburgh Steelers' closer made another game-saving play.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers took down the New York Giants 26-18 on Monday Night Football. Quarterback Russell Wilson passed for 278 yards and one touchdown with a 71.4% completion percentage. Running back Najee Harris rushed for 114 yards on 19 carries -- his third straight one-hundred-yard game.
The Steelers were just unable to break the ice in the first quarter. Wilson completed a 29-yard pass to tight end Darnell Washington and Harris followed that up with a 26-yard run. But at the Giants' eight-yard line, the Steelers' offense mustered only a one-yard run and two incompletions. To the home fans' dismay, Boswell gave the Steelers a 6-3 lead.
Finally, the Steelers defense got a stop and forced a three-and-out. The Steelers' offense answered with positive gains to Warren and Pickens, but Wilson took a huge sack forcing the Steelers' first punt with two minutes remaining. Disaster struck for the Giants the next drive. An illegal shift penalty, a delay of game penalty and another Highsmith sack completely killed the Giants' attempt to answer.for a touchdown -- another huge play for coordinator Danny Smith and his special teams excellent all year.
The Steelers' defense held up, but only for so long. Three straight targets to Nabers proved ineffective, but Tracy Jr. rattled off a 45-yard touchdown on third-and-16. Jones targeted Nabers for the two-point conversion, but the pass was incomplete, cutting the Giants' deficit 15-23.
