AI RECAPThe Pittsburgh Steelers secured a decisive 25-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17, solidifying their playoff positioning as the regular season nears its conclusion. With this win, the Steelers continue to build momentum heading into the postseason, while the Titans face an uphill battle for their playoff hopes.
Drew Allar led the charge for the Steelers with a stellar performance, throwing for two touchdowns and helping his team maintain control of the game. On the ground, Tony Pollard kept the Titans competitive with 88 rushing yards, but it was DK Metcalf's 76 receiving yards that provided a vital spark for Pittsburgh’s offense, keeping the chains moving and the defense on its heels.
Defensively, the Steelers were formidable, with Jaquan Brisker recording 11 total tackles, anchoring a unit that stifled the Titans' offense.
