Pittsburgh got on the board first with a TD after a strong offensive push. They set the pace with a first-quarter TD by wide receiver George Pickens. He punched into the end zone through the Saints’ defense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Pittsburgh continued to score in the second quarter with a 33-yard field goal by kicker Matthew Wright. The Saints found some juice in the period to tie things up going into the half, but it was obvious their scoring troubles followed them to Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
In the second half, the Saints remained flat, unable to find the end zone at any point. The Steelers, on the other hand, added 10 more points in the fourth quarter.<\/strong><\/p>\nQB Andy Dalton continues to give the Saints more reasons to believe he’s not the same player he was earlier in his career. His performance was unimpressive, and although he helped give the Saints a TD, he also threw two interceptions.<\/p>\n
Head coach Dennis Allen isn’t making any friends in New Orleans. Saints fans are chanting more for his exit than they are for a win. He may have been a successful defensive coordinator, but fans now doubt he has the chops to be their leader.<\/p>\n

His experiment as head coach of the then-Oakland Raiders should have been a clue. He only won eight games with Oakland in just over two seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Steelers haven’t been the most effective team this season, either, which is why the sportsbooks had difficulty calling a winner. The Steelers made a run on the 39 over\/under, but didn’t get any help from the Saints to push the total over.<\/p>\n
The Pack Find Their Upset<\/h2>\n
In a game that had to be decided in overtime, the Green Bay Packers (4-6) dealt a painful setback to the Dallas Cowboys (6-3). After losing five in a row, the Pack found the victory they were looking for.<\/p>\n
Mason Crosby’s 28-yard field goal in overtime gave the Packers the win, as they rallied from a 14-point deficit in the third quarter. Along with Crosby, Green Bay’s hero was rookie wide receiver Christian Watson, who sealed the first three touchdowns of his career in just one game. He caught four passes and had 107 yards in total.<\/strong><\/p>\nAaron Rodgers was 14-of-20 for 224 yards for the Packers, adding the three TD passes to Watson. He went an entire game without throwing an interception.<\/p>\n
