 2016 Steelers 3 at Eagles 34
 The Steelers struggle from the start as the Eagles score on their first 3 possessions, quickly putting Pittsburgh in a hole. The offense fails to respond, with Markus Wheaton dropping a TD pass early and the running game stalling. DeAngelo Williams' longest carry is 13 yards, and the team finishes with only 29 yds on the ground. Behind a dominant defensive front led by Fletcher Cox, the Eagles pressure Ben Roethlisberger relentlessly, sacking him multiple times and forcing a fumble. Cox beats David DeCastro for 2 sacks, while Brandon Graham adds another against Marcus Gilbert. The Steelers offense, though built to keep pace in shootouts, never finds rhythm and fails to reach the end zone for the first time in nearly 2 years. Unable to win first-down battles, Pittsburgh falls into long-yardage situations, allowing the Eagles defense to dictate the game. |
