Steelers Claim Victory Over Titans in NFL Week 9 Showdown
Transcript
00:00 Week number nine in the National Football League kicking off last night in Pittsburgh.
00:04 It might be a football Friday, but it's always nighttime in Pittsburgh. I am Ben, he is Donny,
00:11 and Donny the Steelers victorious, improving to a 5-3 record this year. 20-16 the win over
00:19 Tennessee. The only point scored in the fourth quarter. That final touchdown from Kenny Pickett
00:25 to Deontay Johnson. Just over four minutes remaining in the fourth and final corner.
00:30 The first touchdown grab for Deontay Johnson since 2021. And again, he played in all 17 games
00:38 for the Steelers a season ago. The go-ahead and winning touchdown. Deontay Johnson
00:44 finds his way back into the end zone. The Steelers cover as a three-point favorite.
00:50 The total by the hook stays under 36 and a half. Yes, it did stay under and also an interesting
00:56 under because he ended a football game. The Tennessee Titans drove the length of the football
01:00 field, had a legitimate chance to punch in a touchdown, but a late turnover interception
01:04 there. You can't really blame Will Levis. You got to try to make a play here, throw into double
01:07 coverage. It just didn't work out in their favor, but you know what I got to give credit to?
01:10 The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line. What were the question marks coming into this game,
01:14 Ben, with them? They're not a very good pass blocking unit. How about that? Didn't give up
01:18 any sacks here. Kenny Pickett, what did you need from him? I thought he would get over his 213 and
01:22 a half and had a great start to the football game, but I can't say Kenny Pickett played bad. Passer
01:26 rating 88.2. He didn't turn the football over, made the plays that he needed to, but also how
01:31 about the running game and the much maligned running game for the Pittsburgh Steelers?
01:34 Look at the final statistics, Ben. 30 carries, 166 yards, five and a half yards per carry with
01:41 a touchdown, which quite frankly was inches away from a second touchdown on that final drive with
01:45 Jalen Warren. They were impressive last night. Sometimes you can look at the numbers and say,
01:49 boy, oh boy, where is that matchup going to come from? I didn't think the Pittsburgh
01:53 Steelers would be able to run the ball effectively. They really did well last night.
