ATLANTA – Ben Roethlisberger threw for 360 yards and Le’Veon Bell added a pair of touchdown runs as the Pittsburgh Steelers gave their playoff hopes a boost with a 27-20 victory at the expense of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon.
At 9-5, the Steelers are a half-game behind Cincinnati in the AFC North and even with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Falcons dropped to 5-9 on the season – yet they are also only a half-game out of first place, sitting behind the 5-8-1 Carolina Panthers. New Orleans could go back into first place at 6-8 with a win in Chicago on Monday night.
Kevin Lee and Mark Malone called the action on Westwood One.
