Pittsburgh Steelers reach 8-0 for first time in franchise history with ugly win over Dallas Cowboys

Who else but Minkah Fitzpatrick?

For the second week in a row, Fitzpatrick knocked away a pass in the end zone to preserve the Pittsburgh Steelers' undefeated season.

This time, he kept Garrett Gilbert's pass from finding CeeDee Lamb to help the Steelers hold on to a 24-19 win against a pesky Dallas Cowboys team (2-7) at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.

The Steelers are 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, surpassing the 7-0 mark set by the 1978 team.

"I'm really proud of our football team, 8-0 for the first time in franchise history," coach Mike Tomlin said.
