In a tightly contested battle, the San Francisco 49ers narrowly defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing with a final score of 27-22 in Week 5 of the 2027 season. The stakes were high as both teams aimed to solidify their playoff aspirations, but it was the 49ers who emerged victorious on their home turf. Pittsburgh quarterback Drew Allar showcased his skills, throwing for 262 yards and two touchdowns, finding a reliable target in DK Metcalf, who amassed 142 receiving yards. However, the Steelers' ground game struggled, with Rico Dowdle leading the rushers with just 41 yards. Despite their offensive efforts, it wasn't enough to seal the win. Defensively, the 49ers made crucial plays, highlighted by Kenyatta Jackson Jr.'s impressive 1.5 sacks that disrupted the Steelers' rhythm throughout the game. Pittsburgh's defense also had notable contributions, including two interceptions by Troy Polamalu, but they couldn't shift the momentum in their favor. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when San Francisco's defense held strong, allowing them to maintain their slim lead and secure the victory.
