In a high-scoring affair, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Pittsburgh Steelers with a final score of 59-38, solidifying their playoff positioning as the regular season draws to a close. Both teams showcased their offensive firepower, but it was the Cardinals who ultimately secured the victory, demonstrating their dominance in crucial moments. Kordell Slash put on a remarkable performance for the Steelers, throwing for 390 yards and five touchdowns, but it was the Cardinals' Christian McCaffrey who led the ground game with 103 rushing yards. Mike Evans was the standout receiver, racking up an impressive 237 yards and contributing significantly to Arizona's explosive offensive output. Defensively, the Cardinals made their presence felt with key plays from Nick Bosa, who recorded 2.5 sacks, applying consistent pressure on Slash throughout the game. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Bosa's sack led to a crucial turnover, allowing the Cardinals to extend their lead just before halftime. Although Troy Polamalu intercepted a pass for the Steelers, it wasn’t enough to change the momentum as Arizona's defense held strong, sealing their victory.
