Kyle Dugger sacks Jared Goff for safety, Steelers lead 12-10

The Steelers were poised to take at least a three-point lead before a turnover.

But the defense picked up the offense, to give Pittsburgh a two-point advantage.

Safety Kyle Dugger brought down quarterback Jared Goff in the end zone for a safety, putting the Steelers up 12-10 with 9:42 left in the third quarter.

Dugger came on a blitz off the left side, with Dugger disguised enough to fool Detroit's pass protection. Goff had nowhere to go with the football and was brought down in the pocket for the sack on third-and-8.

The Lions got the ball on their 3-yard line after tight end Darnell Washington fumbled deep in Detroit territory. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers had wanted to go quickly after Washington was initially ruled down by contact. But the Steelers substituted, which slowed things down, and Detroit head coach Dan Campbell wisely threw the challenge flag.

But that eventually did not prevent Pittsburgh from putting points on the board.
