Pickett was 19-of-30 passing for 160 yards as
the Steelers (5-3) won for the third time in four games. Johnson
caught seven passes for 90 yards, Jaylen Warren accounted for
113 yards (88 rushing, 25 receiving) and Najee Harris rushed for
69 yards and a score.
Derrick Henry rushed for a touchdown and accounted for 102 yards
(75 rushing, 27 receiving) for Tennessee (3-5), which lost for
the third time in four games.
Levis completed 22 of 39 passes for 262 yards and the
interception in his second NFL start. He once again filled in
for Ryan Tannehill (ankle).
Nick Folk kicked three field goals for the Titans.
Pittsburgh took the lead on Pickett's 3-yard scoring pass to
Johnson. The 92-yard drive lasted 11 plays. The key plays on the
drive were Pickett's 32-yard pass to Johnson on third-and-6 and
Warren's ensuing 22-yard run to the Titans' 1-yard line.
Penalties on both teams resulted in the ball eventually sitting
at the 3.
On Tennessee's next possession, Levis threw incomplete deep
downfield to Treylon Burks on fourth-and-4, giving Pittsburgh
the ball with 2:06 left. Burks landed just off the sideline and
was soon taken off on a cart. He reportedly had movement in all
his extremities.
Burks later walked to the team bus with assistance, Amazon Prime
reported.
The Titans got one last chance and that drive ended when Levis
was intercepted by Alexander.
Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb was carted off the field with a
left knee injury during the first quarter. Pickett played four
days after injuring his ribs during a game against the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
Folk booted a 48-yard field goal with 19 seconds left in the
third quarter to give the Titans a 16-13 lead.
Levis passed for 153 yards in the first half as Tennessee led
13-10 at the break.
Harris scored on a 10-yard run to cap Pittsburgh's game-opening
drive.
Folk got the Titans on the board with a 36-yard field goal with
2:48 left in the first quarter before Henry scored on a 2-yard
run to give Tennessee a 10-7 lead with 6:35 left in the first
half.
Chris Boswell got the Steelers even with a 29-yard field goal
with 1:16 left in the half. Folk's 36-yarder as time expired
gave Tennessee the three-point halftime lead.
Pittsburgh received Boswell's 30-yard field goal to knot the
score at 13 with 5:41 left in the third period.
