? Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was fired up after Russell Wilson got Commanders rookie defensive tackle Johnny Newton to jump offside on fourth-and-1. The mishap handed the Steelers a 28-27 win.
WHOLESOME: #Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger was FIRED UP like any other fan watching Pittsburgh win yesterday’s game.

? Mike Tomlin’s 26 victories when facing a rookie starting quarterback are the most since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Tomlin is 26-6 all-time against rookie QBs.
? Sunday’s comeback win had a rare feel to it, especially with it being a pretty high scoring game. Over the previous two seasons (2022-23), the Steelers went 0-9 when allowing 24+ points. A 10-point deficit in the second half would have been a guaranteed loss in past years, as well.
The @steelers haven’t won THAT GAME. Over the previous 2 seasons (2022-23), they went 0-9 when allowing 24+ points. https://t.co/5v96Pcumg9
