Wonderful review
With the brainless foul of Brown rushing passer Judwin Clooney, the Steelers were sent directly into the red zone, and then the Steelers made a tactical change, and the Big Ben fake run real pass connected Deontay Johnson to complete the touchdown, and the Steelers broke the deadlock 7-0. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the Steelers have touched up in the first half in their last five games.
Before the end of the first half, Brown quarterback Mayfield sent a interception, and the Steelers used this wave of attack to score again, and kicker Chris Boswell hit a 22-yard free-kick to make it 10-0.
In the third quarter of the game, Brown's offense still did not improve. The Steelers continued to advance with Big Ben's unhurried offense, with kicker Boswell hitting another free-kick to make it 13-0.
At the end of the third quarter, Brown finally won something. Mayfield's fake run was effective, connecting Donovan Pips Jones to a large-size push into the red zone. Laying the groundwork with two consecutive dashes, Mayfield's pass connected david N'Joku to complete the touchdown, and the score came to 13-7.
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Steelers advanced forward with running back Najib Harris to finally get a chance to take a long-range free kick. Boswell withstood the pressure at home, hitting a 50-yard free-kick to give the Steelers a 16-7 lead.
The Brown offensive group and special service team did not squat and make mistakes, and the abandonment of the kick directly gave the Steelers the opportunity to attack in their own field. But then Brown quickly blocked the Steelers' three attacks, and Boswell scored another 48-yard free-kick to give the Steelers a 19-7 lead.
The Steelers pulled a foul to save Brown from 18 yards on 4th gear, and then Mayfield himself rushed the ball into 3rd gear 10. In the final 90 seconds, Brown advanced to within a 10-yard line from the Steelers' end zone, or a fake run, Mayfield connected Harrison Bryant to complete the touchdown, the score was 19-14.
In the final moments, Steelers running back Harris scored another 37-yard touchdown to seal the victory 26-14.

Contest summary
As the season draws to a close, the Attitude of Steelers Quarterback Big Ben is becoming clearer. Today is likely to be the last time of His career at Heinz Field, and it will be a night match. However, today's Steelers offense is still very inefficient, fortunately the defensive group is strong enough, the star T.J. Watt cut 4 tackles, the team got a total of 9 tackles, making Brown's offense more inefficient. It was such a game that seemed to be offensively "worse than bad", and the steelman laughed to the end.
