PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Steelers used a 24-point burst just before halftime to turn a big deficit into an 11-point halftime lead as the Steelers defeated the Houston Texans 30-23 on Monday night.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown starred for Pittsburgh, hauling in nine passes for 90 yards. He also connected with Lance Moore on a three-yard TD pass as part of that Steelers rally late in the second quarter.
Trailing 13-0, Pittsburgh got a Shaun Suisham field goal with 3:08 remaining before the half to get on the board. Touchdowns at the 1:27, 1:03 and :14 mark turned a 13-3 deficit into a 24-13 lead.
Kevin Harlan and Boomer Esiason called the action on Westwood One.
