PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 20-17 to the Dallas Cowboys at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night.

The start of the match was delayed by almost 90 minutes as heavy storms with thunder and lightning passed through the area on Sunday evening.

Justin Fields got the start again for Pittsburgh as Russell Wilson remains sidelined with a calf injury.

Steelers linebacker TJ Watt recorded his 100th career sack during the game, becoming the second-fastest player to reach that point in NFL history.

The Steelers and Cowboys both struggled to score points in the first half, with Dallas leading 6-3 at halftime.

Fields and tight end Connor Heyward combined for a touchdown in the second half to give Pittsburgh a 10-6 lead. That lead would not last, however, as the Cowboys would jump back to a 13-10 lead of their own.

Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. intercepted a pass with about 10 minutes left to give the Steelers the ball.

The Black and Gold offense took advantage of the turnover with Fields and tight end Pat Freiermuth connecting for a touchdown with 4:56 left in the game to take a 17-13 lead.

The Cowboys took the lead with 0:26 left in the game when Dak Prescott found Jalen Tolbert in the end zone for a touchdown.

Pittsburgh’s offense had one last chance to tie things up with 0:15 left in the game, but they couldn’t.

With the loss, Pittsburgh drops to 3-2 and will hit the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders next week.
