Make that three straight three-and-outs for the Steelers offense. Jacksonville drove into scoring territory, but after getting down to the red zone behind a 29-yard catch by Christian Kirk, disaster struck in the form of a lost fumble.

Second quarter

FOUR straight three-and-punts for the Steelers! They’ve run 12 offensive plays for 9 total yards so far.

Unfortunately, the Jaguars’ offense is also consistent. Trevor Lawrence threw an ugly interception in the red zone on Jacksonville’s ensuing possession.

Pittsburgh finally picked up its first first down five minutes into the second quarter. Diontae Johnson caught 4 passes for 43 yards to help the Steelers get all the way down to the Jaguars’ 5-yard line, but Jacksonville was able to force a 22-yard field goal.

Third quarter

Jacksonville put together a nice drive to start the second half, but it was thwarted by a Tank Bigsby fumble. Then a few punts were exchanged before Lawrence found Etienne deep down the sideline for a 56-yard touchdown! Etienne ran in the two-point conversion to make it a 14-point ballgame.
