After the Pittsburgh defense forced their first punt of the game, Roethlisberger took over and connected with a big pass play to Martavis Bryant which put them in the red-zone; however, after an offensive pass interference call, and a sack, Pittsburgh had to settle for a Chris Boswell 51-yard field goal to take the lead 10-7.
Trailing for the first time in the game, Brady orchestrated a scoring drive of his own, but this time the Pittsburgh defense stood tall in the red-zone, forcing a Stephen Gostkowki 32-yard field goal to tie the game 10-10.
