Steelers Survive Broncos Comeback In 26-21 Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers knocked Drew Lock out of the game early and used a timely fourth quarter sack to hold off a pesky Denver Broncos team, 26-21.

On the second drive of the game, after both teams punted the ball away on their first possessions, Bud Dupree sacked Lock, forced a fumble, and the ball was recovered by Mike Hilton. It gave the Steelers the ball near midfield, and effectively knocked Lock out of the game with a right shoulder injury.

The fumble recovery would lead to a nine play, 59 yard drive capped off by a James Conner two yard touchdown to put the black and yellow up 7-0.
