Big Plays Key Steelers Touchdown Drive

Down 20-0 in the fourth quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers use two big plays to key a touchdown drive that pulls them within one score of the Houston Texans.

From their 34-yard line, quarterback Kyle Allen connected with wideout Scotty Miller for 38 yards to flip the field to the Houston 28. Two plays later, running back Daijun Edwards rambled 24 yards to the Texans 1.

On the very next play, Edwards barreled his way into the endzone for the touchdown.

The Steelers went for the 2-point-play, but it was shut down at the goal line keeping the score at 17-12.

Edwards would carry the ball on the drive three times for 28 yards and the touchdown.

Kyle Allen was 2-for-2 for 44 yards.

The Texans would then drive the length of the field before their drive stalled at the Steelers 12.  The Texans would settle for a 32-yard field goal attempt, but the normally reliable Ka'imi Fairbairn missed the kick wide left.
