US EditionNFL Roundup: Steelers Make Big Plays, Escape Lions
The Steelers overcame a second-half defensive collapse by the Lions, scoring key long runs and a safety to secure a 29-24 victory, impacting Detroit's playoff chances.
- On Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Detroit Lions 29-24 at Ford Field when a last-second Lions touchdown was wiped out by an offensive pass-interference call on Amon-Ra St. Brown.
- After halftime, the Lions' defense unraveled, yielding long touchdown runs, a safety, and a 17-play drive; Dan Campbell said, `I think, look there's a lot of short passing, ball out type of throws.`
- Jaylen Warren's two 45-yard touchdown runs and career-high 143 rushing yards led Pittsburgh's 230-15 rushing advantage, while Chris Boswell opened with a 59-yard field goal and Jared Goff threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns.
- The Lions fell to 8-7, cutting their playoff odds to 5% according to NFL statistics, and now must win two games while the Packers lose both to reach the postseason.
- Beyond Motown, the result clinched a playoff berth for the San Francisco 49ers, extended the Pittsburgh Steelers' streak to 22 straight seasons at or above.500, and sends Pittsburgh to Cleveland next Sunday.
