What happened: Defensive pass interference was called on the play before Jack Sawyer got a finger on the ball, erasing the foul and leaving Pittsburgh with the takeaway. The interception came with the Steelers down 21-10.

Why it matters: The sequence hands the Steelers an extra possession instead of a penalty that would have extended the drive. For Sawyer, it is another ball-production moment after the 2025 fourth-round pick logged two interceptions in 17 games last season.

By the numbers: Sawyer was the No. Chris Boswell had four of Pittsburgh's 10 points at the live update.

What to watch: Pittsburgh's next series will determine whether the takeaway trims the 21-10 gap. Another defensive stop would give the Steelers a chance to turn one reversed call into a bigger swing.
