Chris Boswell, defense lead Steelers over Falcons

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for their defense. Chris Boswell is one of the best kickers in the NFL. On Sunday, they combined to lead the AFC North team to a 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Steelers won with Justin Fields starting at quarterback. Russell Wilson was out with a calf injury.

Pittsburgh had two sacks and two interceptions of Kirk Cousins to ruin his Falcons debut.

Boswell helped on two fronts. He made all six field-goal attempts to account for Pittsburgh’s points.

When Cameron Johnson was injured on one of his two punts, Boswell came on to do something for the first time in his career: Punt. He delivered a 43-yarder and has to be the NFL Special Teams Player of the Week.
