Uhlaselo olunzima lukaTennessee lwahamba kathathu lwaphuma kabini kwisibini nesiqingatha sokuqala semoto kwaye aluphumelelanga ukuguqula inzame yesine-phantsi kwenye, ivumela i-Steelers-efumana amanqaku kwimpahla yabo yokuqala yokuqala-ukuba itsibe 24-7 ekhokelayo.

Ngaphandle kwesiqalo esihle, nangona kunjalo, iPittsburgh ijonge kude kude ngokugqibeleleyo kwisiqingatha sesibini. AbakwaSteelers bakhaba inqaku lomhlaba kwikota yabo yesithathu yokuvula ukuze bathathe u-27-7, kodwa enye into yaya apho.

Kodwa weza nakwiveki ye-21st kwi-QBR (60.0) nakwi-24th in iingongoma ezilindelekileyo zongezwa (24.1) phakathi kwabahambi abaphumeleleyo. Ukongeza kwizinto ezintathu azikhethileyo ngeCawa, inqanaba lakhe lokugqibezela ibingamanqaku e-5.2 ngezantsi kulindelwe, ye Izibalo ezilandelayo zeGen.
