Steelers dominate early, hold off Titans for 27-24 win

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Pittsburgh Steelers stand alone as the AFC’s last undefeated team thanks to a dominant start and a bit of late luck. Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes to Diontae Johnson, and the Steelers remained perfect by holding off Tennessee for a 27-24 victory Sunday in a game postponed three weeks after the Titans came down with the NFL’s first COVID-19 outbreak of the season. It’s good for us.” The Steelers improved to 6-0 for their best start since 1978, when Pittsburgh won its first seven on the way to the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh outgained Tennessee 362-292 and held the NFL’s second-best scoring offense under 31 points for the first time since the opening week of the season. “I was confident going out there but didn’t get it done.” Pittsburgh dominated early with a 161-1 edge in total offense before the Titans’ second offensive possession.
