Steelers Survive on Final-Play Penalty, Crushing Lions' Playoff Hopes

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Detroit Lions 29-24 in a dramatic finish on Sunday. The Lions' last chance ended when a penalty canceled their final touchdown. With no time left, Detroit quarterback Jared Goff threw a pass to receiver Amon-Ra St Brown. St Brown pushed a defender away to catch the ball, an act called offensive pass interference. He then threw the ball back to Goff, who ran for an apparent winning score. The penalty erased the play, giving Pittsburgh the victory. The loss severely damages Detroit's chance to reach the postseason, or playoffs.
