Pittsburgh Knocks Off Unbeaten Houston

Mark Malone

This game came down to a tale of two time clocks. Houston owned the first 29 min running off to a 20-0 lead. The next 31 mins was all Pittsburgh. The game was so close that the turning point turned on one key Pen. in the last min of the first half. Houston hit a 20 yard FG making the score 23-0 but a late flag removed the points and oilers missed the retry   In the next 45 second the Steelers scored a 70 yard TD drive and began their command of the rest of the game shutting out Houston the rest of the way while scoring 21 more points. Both QBs were hot and cold during the contest. Another key was the Steeler developed a ground game while Houston did not.
