This is why they play the games, as evidenced in how the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves barely surviving a back alley brawl with the Dallas Cowboys -- walking away with a narrow 24-19 victory in Arlington, Texas. Despite entering as 14.5-point underdogs to the mighty Steelers, the Cowboys mostly shut down an opponent they were predicted to lay down and die to. Instead, having been named starter just one day prior, Garrett Gilbert (overall) showed an ability to deliver both the timely dime and so much-needed escapability -- out-producing both Ben Roethlisberger and the entire Steelers running back unit in the first half.
Things began to come apart for him in the second half, however, while they did the exact opposite for Roethlisberger, but it's his defense he can mostly thank for the win, particularly safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Surprisingly enough, it was also the usually beleaguered Cowboys defense showing out as well for much of the game, if not for back-breaking penalties in the fourth quarter that helped push the Steelers to victory in a game that went from being an expected blowout to one of the best games of Week 9. Gilbert was both impressive and not so much, as the Steelers walked away with both an 8-0 record and some humility -- having nearly been the victim of the biggest upset of 2020.
