The Steelers’ 14-game TD drought ends with a run by Najee Harris on the first play.

The Steelers’ 14-game TD drought ends with a run by Najee Harris on the first play.

The Steelers and the New York Jets were the only two groups who hadn’t scored on the first drive before Harris’ scored.

The last time the Steelers scored a touchdown in the first drive of the season was in Week 15 toward the Carolina Panthers.

On their first drive, the Steelers not only scored a touchdown, but they also ran a play in the other team’s territory for the first time.

The Steelers hadn’t scored in the first half in four straight games before Thursday. The Steelers additionally didn’t score any touchdowns in the initial quarter during that time.

Even though Pittsburgh qb Kenny Pickett hurt his ribs against the Jaguars of Jacksonville, he made 5 of 7 passes for 62 yards, such as a pair third-down conversions, during the drive.

The Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams played their first game together on Sunday. The No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the 2023 draft also played each other for the first time.

In the fourth quarter, the Minnesota Vikings buried quarterback Kirk Cousins to what sources tell Adam Schefter had a torn Achilles.

Will Levis, a rookie quarterback, did a great job in his first NFL game in Tennessee. He threw four touchdowns as the Titans beat the Atlanta Falcons. The Los Angeles Bolts easily beat the away team Chicago Bears on Sunday night.

In the late afternoon, more surprises happened. The 49ers of San Diego lost their third straight game of the season, and the Broncos of Denver beat the Kansas City Chiefs to end a 16-game losing run.

Then, in Monday night, the Lions of Detroit beat the Las Vegas Raiders 26–14 thanks to a great game by rookie back Jahmyr Gibbs.

After each game, our NFL Nation writers talked about what happened, answered any questions that people still had, and picked out who or what was going up and down for each team.

The Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers played on Thursday night to start Week 9. The game was a big deal because it was the first game since Tennessee Titans rookie Will Levis scored four touchdowns in his debut last week.

For most of the night, the teams traded field goals until Pittsburgh scored late and held off a last-ditch attempt by the Titans to win 20-16.

There were 4:02 left in the fourth quarter when Steelers qb Kenny Pickett connected with receiver Diontae Johnson for a touchdown from 3 yards out.

With the win, the Steelers stayed in touch regarding the AFC North-leading Ravens of Baltimore (6-2). Levis, who was filling in for the hurt Ryan Tannehill as a starting, lost his first game as a starter.

When Levis threw his initial interception in the NFL on third-and-5 to the Pittsburgh 19-yard line with only six seconds left, Kwon Alexander managed to seal the win.

Even though the Steelers ran for 167 yards, which was the most of the season, and the defense stopped Derrick Henry to less than 100 yards, the game was still hard for them.

The Steelers now have four wins in a row when they were behind after three quarters. This is the most in the NFL.

They also tied for second place among teams that have won four comeback games in a season since the Super Bowl.
