    Steelers vs. Giants score, live updates: Russell Wilson makes Pittsburgh’s second start on ‘Monday Night Football’

    Caradoc Wyn Posted on

    There’s a reason why Mike Tomlin is currently the longest-tenured coach in the NFL. After all, who would make a quarterback change on a 4-2 team that is firmly in the playoffs and the division title hunt? But Pittsburgh, now quarterbacked by Russell Wilson, appears to be an even bigger threat in the AFC after its offensive performance in last week’s 37-15 win over the Jets.

    Wilson proved to be an improvement over Justin Fields in the Steelers’ passing game with the ability to push the ball downfield. The resulting deep shots opened up more options for the Steelers in the intermediate passing game and led to running routes for Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, who combined to rush for nearly 150 yards.

    Visiting Pittsburgh on “Monday Night Football” (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN, ABC and streaming on ESPN+) are the 2-5 New York Giants, who have a top-10 pass defense (sixth in the NFL, 179.4 YPG) and have the most sacks in the league with 31. However, New York’s offense wasn’t as productive, ranking 29th in yards per game, prompting head coach Brian Daboll to say this week that the team is sticking with Daniel Jones at quarterback. Jones ranks near the bottom of the league in passer rating (80.6) among qualified starters with at least five starts.

    • Jaylen Warren caught and ran for 18 yards

      After Russell Wilson was sacked for a five-yard loss to give the Steelers a 3rd-and-12, Jaylen Warren got an 18-yard catch-and-run for a first down.

    • The Giants go three-and-out

      The Giants got their first punt of the game after going three-and-out on their next drive. Matt Haack’s punt goes 45 yards and the Steelers take over at their 18-yard line with 6:45 left in the second quarter.

    • Field Goal: Steelers 9, Giants 6

      Steelers lose a timeout for challenging a call that had already been reviewed.

      The incomplete pass stands and Pittsburgh has to settle for a field goal on 4th-and-8. Chris Boswell scores his third field goal of the night, this time a 27-yard kick.

    • George Pickens’ apparent TD catch was ruled incomplete

      Russell Wilson hits George Pickens on a flag route in the back of the end zone for an apparent touchdown. But he’s out of bounds after being hit by Deonte Banks. His left foot never lands in the field.

      However, the Steelers challenge the call.

    • Field Goal: Giants 6, Steelers 6

      Malik Nabers catches a 21-yard pass at the front pylon, but his right foot goes out of bounds.

      New York has to settle for a field goal and Greg Joseph’s 39-yard kick makes it 6-6.

    • The Giants’ TD was eliminated by a penalty

      Daniel Jones hits Chris Manhertz for a 16-yard score, but the touchdown is taken off the board due to an illegal shift penalty on Malik Nabers.

      Both teams now had TDs taken off the board with penalties.

    • Giants convert a 4th down

      A false start penalty against Greg Van Roten pushed the Giants back to the 38-yard line and a 3rd-and-12.

    • End of 1st quarter: Steelers 6, Giants 3

      The first quarter ends with a 3rd-and-7 for New York at the Steelers’ 33-yard line.

      Alex Highsmith was called for roughhousing the passer who was advancing the ball to Pittsburgh’s 36 line.

    • The Giants’ offensive line opens up big holes

      Tyrone Tracy gets a 10-yard run thanks to a huge hole created by the Giants’ offensive line. He has 21 yards on five carries so far.

      The Giants are hurt by another penalty. Tyrone Tracy Jr. makes a 20-yard run, but it is canceled out by a call from Jon Runyan.

    • Field Goal: Steelers 6, Giants 3

      A one-yard run from Najee Harris followed by two consecutive incomplete passes from Russell Wilson means Pittsburgh will have to settle for another field goal. Chris Boswell is good from 25 meters.

      The Steelers get a 29-yard catch from Darnell Washington and then a 26-yard run from Najee Harris. First-and-goal from the Giants’ 8-yard line.

    • Field Goal: Giants 3, Steelers 3

      Greg Joseph’s 29-yard field goal makes it 3-3.

      Both teams had strong opening attacks, but they faltered due to penalties in the red zone.

      Penalties in the red zone also hurt the Giants. New York called for a delay of game and faced 3rd-and-12 from the Pittsburgh 18-yard line.

    • Explosive play from Daniel Jones

      Daniel Jones hits Darius Slayton for a 43-yard pass on 1st-and-10 to the Steelers’ 16-yard line.

    • Field Goal: Steelers 3, Giants 0

      Broderick Jones’ facemask penalty was costly. It took a touchdown off the board and turned a 2nd-and-9 into a 2nd-and-24.

      The Steelers get a four-yard run and a nine-yard reception from Jaylen Warren, but have to settle for a field goal from Chris Boswell. A promising trip ultimately fizzles out.

      Steelers 3, Giants 0

    • The Steelers’ TD was eliminated by a penalty

      The Steelers scored on an 11-yard TD pass from Russell Wilson to George Pickens. But a facemask penalty against Broderick Jones negates the touchdown.

    • Dexter Lawrence’s shoe comes off

      Dexter Lawrence briefly left the field, but that was because his left shoe came off. No injury, Giants fans.

    • Najee Harris runs hard

      Najee Harris had 25 yards on his first three carries. His last two runs each went for 10 yards.

    • The Steelers have the ball first

      The Giants won the coin toss and deferred, so the Steelers will be on offense to start the game.
