Steelers survive Titans’ charge as Gostkowski misses late FG
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-0. The Tennesse Titans are 5-1 after a thriller in Nashville Sunday that saw Stephen Gostkowski miss a 46-yard field goal in the final minute as the Steelers held on for a 27-24 victory.
The Titans’ final drive had been set up by an interception of Ben Roethlisberger in the end zone.
Ryan Tannehill led the Titans’ drive, which was hurt by an intentional grounding penalty and 10-second runoff.
Gostkowski has been perfect from 50 and outside but has had issues inside that distance. It came back to bite him again as his kick slid right and sealed the Titans’ first loss.
Ben Roethlisberger seemed surprised.
