The instant returns were motivating.

It wasn’t sustainable. While there were pockets of success occasionally, Pickett had problem with his precision sometimes and the offense went back to the slog that’s become its signature. The Titans reacted to take a 13-10 halftime lead behind some poised play by Levis and Derrick Henry’s distinct brand name of fury. Henry scored on a two-yard dive– with 305lb defensive take on Jeffery Simmons acting as lead blocker– and Levis later on ran the two-minute offense skillfully to establish a 36-yard basket by Folk to put Tennessee up at the break. The groups traded basket in the 3rd quarter– Pittsburgh’s after pass receiver George Pickens stopped working to get his left foot down for what needs to have been a goal reception– with Folk’s 3rd basket putting the Titans up 16-13 heading into the 4th. Where the Steelers desired them.
