In a thrilling Wildcard Round matchup, the Pittsburgh Steelers narrowly defeated the Tennessee Titans 41-38, securing their spot in the next phase of the playoffs. Both teams showcased their offensive firepower, but it was the Steelers who managed to pull ahead in the final moments, advancing in the 2026 postseason.
