Wide receiver Diontae Johnson passed 1,000 yards receiving on the season, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger passed Phillip Rivers for fifth in NFL history in passing yards and outside linebacker T.J. Watt passed James Harrison for the franchise single-season sacks record.
Most importantly, the Steelers found a way to get past the Titans, 19-13, this afternoon at Heinz Field.
The defense pitched a shutout in the second half and came up with three turnovers in the final two quarters.
The victory was preserved when cornerback Joe Haden tackled wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine just shy of the line to gain on fourth-and-7 from the Steelers' 16-yard line with 34 seconds left in regulation.
The Steelers improved to 7-6-1.
The Titans fell to 9-5.

Another Boswell field goal, this one from 48 yards out, upped the Steelers' lead to 19-13 with 4:29 left in the fourth.

They got as far as the Titans' 10 on a seven-play, 31-yard drive in 2:26 but ultimately settled for a 28-yard field goal from Boswell that tied the game at 13-13 with 13:24 left in the fourth quarter.
Roethlisberger took the field 26 passing yards shy of Philip Rivers' 63,440 career total. A 3-yard completion to Harris on third-and-6 from the Steelers' 42 early in the second quarter moved Roethlisberger ahead of Rivers on the NFL's all-time list.

Tennessee converted its first three third downs on the march but stalled after achieving a first-and-goal at the Steelers' 4.
Kicker Randy Bullock ended the possession with a 32-yard field goal for a 13-3 Titans' advantage with 18 seconds remaining in the first half.
Boswell missed a 56-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half.
The Titans struck first midway through the first quarter.

The Titans finished off a six-play, 25-yard drive in 2:29 with a 1-yard touchdown run by Tannehill. Tennessee had converted a third-and-8 on the previous snap on an 11-yard completion from Tannehill to running back Jeremy McNichols to the Steelers' 1.
