The Winning Streak Continues, Steelers Clutch a Week 3 Victory

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a last-minute victory against the Houston Texans, with a winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers’ winning streak continues into week 3, with a close game against the Texans. Despite the rocky start, the Steelers pulled off the win, scoring a last-minute touchdown, with the final score being 28-21.

The first half did not start off well for the Steelers, with the Pittsburgh team down 3-14, but began to turn around after the defense started to put on the pressure on the Texans quarterback, Deshaun Watson. The games turning point came when the Steelers’ defense pressured Watson and forced him to throw a downfield pass. Unfortunately for Watson, the throw downfield was intercepted by Mike Hilton, in the third quarter.

From there, the game started to go in the Steelers’ favor, with the Steelers scoring 11 more points in the third and fourth quarter, while the Steelers’ defense kept the Texans offense at bay.
