Then, T.J. Watt came up with a huge interception near Cincinnati’s red zone that was nearly too good to believe, resulting in a field goal for the Steelers to make it a one-point game, 24-23, late in the third quarter.

‘Tis the season for returns

After a smooth touchdown run by Fields, Cordarelle Patterson returned this kickoff to the house, giving him the most kickoff returns for a touchdown in NFL history with nine.

N.Y. in a Giant hole
