Pittsburgh 20San Francisco 24
Boswell opened the scoring with a 46-yard field goal with 11:47 left in the first quarter.The scoring drive featured three completions on Rudolph’s first three attempts but only covered 5 yards
following Watt’s interception of a bobbled screen pass and 7-yard return to the San Francisco 33-yard line.Boswell connected for the third time in as many games and for the fourth time in four tries overall
this season.San Francisco’s third possession produced the same result as its first, the 49ers turned the ball over
and the Steelers converted an interception into a field goal.This time it was free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick collecting the carom of a pass from quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo that deflected off wide receiver Dante Pettis. Fitzpatrick’s 14-yard return set the Steelers up at the 49ers’ 24, but the Steelers ultimately settled for a 26-yard field goal by Boswell.
By then the trend had apparently been set.The 49ers turned the ball over again on each of their next two possessions, both times in Steelers’
territory.Inside linebacker Devin Bush recovered a fumble at the Steelers’ 9 with 14:51 left in the second
quarter. Running back Raheem Mostert was initially separated from the football by Fitzpatrick.Bush jumped on a subsequent loose ball at the Steelers’ 7 with 11:25 remaining prior to halftime
after a fumble by Garappolo on a snap.The 49ers forced a three-and-out following their fourth turnover and took over at the Steelers’ 49
following a punt.This time San Francisco put together a nine-play, 43-yard drive in 3:52 that concluded with a 24-yard
field goal by kicker Robbie Gould 6:45 before the break.Fitzpatrick made his Steelers debut and Rudolph made his first NFL start.The Steelers lost tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) in the second quarter.The interceptions by Watt and Fitzpatrick were the Steelers’ first two of the season.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Steelers fall to 0-3 after losing the San Francisco 49ers, 24-20, at Levi’s Stadium.
The defense came up with five takeaways, but it wasn’t enough. A late fumble by James Conner lead to the 49ers game-winning touchdown.
The 49ers were driving to re-gain the lead, when the defense came up with their fifth takeaway of the game. On an aborted play, the receiver was in motion and the ball was snapped early, hit Richie James Jr. and T.J. Watt came up with the recovery at the Steelers 14-yard line. But the 49ers got the ball right back when Conner’s fumble was recovered by DeForest Buckner at the Steelers 24-yard line. The 49ers would make it count. Jimmy Garoppolo hit Dante Pettis for a five-yard touchdown to give them a 24-20 lead, which would seal the win.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 39-yard deep ball to wide receiver Diontae Johnson, put the Steelers back in front. Kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point made it 20-17, with 10:22 left in the fourth quarter.
Running back Jeff Wilson Jr.’s second touchdown of the game, this one a 4-yard blast on first-and-goal, helped put the 49ers back on top at 17-13 with 4:46 left in the third quarter. San Francisco responded to falling behind 13-10 with a 10-play, 75-yard march in 4:46.
A big play had allowed the Steelers to regain the lead with 5:42 left in the third quarter.Rudolph hit wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on a crossing route on third-and-4 from the Steelers’
26-yard line and Smith-Schuster got to the boundary, turned up the field and didn’t stop until he’d crossed the goal line. The 76-yard, catch-and-run touchdown included about 65 yards gained after the catch, Smith Schuster eluding cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon and free safety Tarvarius Moore, and a downfield block by tight end Xavier Grimble on inside linebacker Kwon Alexander.
Boswell’s extra point put the Steekers ahead, 13-10.The Steelers had taken a 6-3 lead into the third quarter but it didn’t last long.Rudolph was intercepted on second-and-5 from the Steelers’ 32 on the first possession of the second
half after having been flushed from the pocket and pressured by defensive end Arik Armstead. Cornerback K’Waun Williams’ pick put the 49ers in business at the Steelers’ 38-yard-line.
Wilson Jr.’s 1-yard plunge on third-and-goal from the 1 capped an eight-play drive in 4:02 that gave the 49ers a 10-6 lead.

STEELERS-49ERS: LAST TIME OUT
WEEK 4 - STEELERS VS. BENGALS | 22
www.steelers.com @Steelers /Steelers @Steelers @Steelers
Three straight pass attempts on the next drive netted only five yards for the Steelers and again they went three-and-out and were forced to punt.
Coty Sensabaugh broke-up a pass intended for Auden Tate, and Mixon was stopped for no gain. A false start gave the Bengals a third-and-15 from their own 19-yard line, but Driskel’s pass to Giovani Bernard went for only nine yards, the defense holding again.
Taking over at their own 26-yard line the offense came to life. Roethlisberger hit James Washington for 47-yards to the Bengals 27-yard line. Conner rattled off a 16-yard run to the 11-yard line. Roeth-lisberger hit Smith-Schuster who took it in the end zone for an 11-yard score, tying the game, 10-10.
Mixon came out running on the Bengals next drive, getting a first down with an eight-yard carry, followed up with a three-yard gain. C.J. Uzomah pulled in a six-yard catch, but on third down Mixon was stopped short of the chains.
Looking to break the tie the Steelers offense went to work. On a third-and-eight Vance McDonald took it for 22 yards on the catch and run. On fourth-and-four Samuels got six yards for the first down. It would be McCrane who would come through hitting a 47-yard field goal, giving the Steelers their first lead, 13-10.
The lead would be short lived. Mixon broke free for a 51-yard gain to the Steelers 15-yard line. The defense stiffened, and Heyward sacked Driskel for a seven-yard loss. The Bengals tied the game, 13-13, when Bullock hit a 32-yard field goal.
Roethlisberger hit Conner for 20 yards on the catch and run and went to Washington for another first down on a 10-yard gain. Conner carried it for two yards, Rogers picked up seven on the reception, and Conner got the first down on a two-yard carry. Roethlisberger avoided a sack but couldn’t connect with Jesse James. On third-and-10 Roethlisberger hit Rogers for 10 yards to keep the drive alive. Roethlisberger scrambled for five yards, and on third-and-five only picked up two yards on a completion to Switzer. McCrane came through again, hitting his third field goal of the day, a 35-yarder to give the Steelers a lead they would hold on to for the 16-13.
PITTSBURGH – The Steelers did what they needed to do on Sunday, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals, 16-13, at Heinz Field.
Matt McCrane, who was signed on Friday after Chris Boswell was placed on injured reserve, hit three field goals, including the game-winner from 35 yards out.
Ben Roethlisberger finished the season with 5,129 passing yards and became just the seventh quarterback in NFL history to record 5,000 passing yards in a season.
The defense was dominant all day, holding Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel to just 95 yards passing and sacking him four times, while allowing just 125 yards on the ground, most of that coming in a 51-yard run by Joe Mixon.
The Bengals drew first blood on the Steelers next offensive drive. Roethlisberger was intercepted by Shawn Williams, who returned it 58 yards for a touchdown, giving the Bengals a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Struggles on offense continued for the Steelers on the next drive. Roethlisberger hit James Conner for seven yards, and Conner followed it with a six-yard gain. Eli Rogers pulled in a 15-yard reception, fumbled, and recovered his own fumble. An incompletion and short pass had the Steelers with a third-and-five. Roethlisberger was sacked for a nine-yard loss, forcing them to punt.
The Bengals added to their lead when they went on a 12-play, 51-yard drive that resulted in a 49-yard field goal by Randy Bullock, extending the lead to 10-0.
The Steelers took over with 2:06 to play at their own 45-yard line after Ryan Switzer returned the kick 27 yards. Roethlisberger hit Rogers for nine yards, Xavier Grimble for 16 yards and JuJu Smith-Schuster for 12 yards. Two incompletions and a personal foul call gave the Steelers a third-and-25, and Roethlisberger hit Jaylen Samuels, but it only went for 12 yards. McCrane made his Steelers debut, nailing a 39-yard field goal, sending the Steelers into halftime only down by a score, 10-3.
The Bengals got the ball to start the second half, and the Steelers defense was ready for them. On third down T.J. Watt sacked Driskel for an eight-yard loss, forcing a fumble that Driskel was able to fall on.
The offense wasn’t able to do anything with the ball after the punt and went three-and-out.The defense kept playing lights out. Bud Dupree and Mike Hilton combined for a five-yard sack
of Driskel, and Cameron Heyward added an eight-yard sack, forcing the Bengals to punt again.
