The Pittsburgh Steelers rewarded the brave fans who spent more than three hours in the bitter cold and snow on Saturday night. Quarterback Kenny Pickett found fellow rookie George Pickens for the game-winning touchdown with just 45 seconds left to seal a 13-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
On a night when neither offense saw much success, Pittsburgh put together an impressive final drive to find the end zone and keep their playoff hopes alive. Pickett finished with 244 passing yards including that touchdown to Pickens.
Defensively, the Steelers stood tall and kept the Raiders in check all game long. They Held Last Vegas running back Josh Jacobs to only 44 yards rushing and picked off Derek Carr three times in addition to sacking him three as well.
Pittsburgh is now staring down two AFC North matchups to finish the season. The team remains in the playoff mix at 7-8 but must win these next two games.
