DETROIT -- The undermanned Pittsburgh Steelers made a goal-line stand at the wire for a crucial 29-24 road victory over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday.

The Detroit Lions' playoff hopes took a big hit Sunday with a 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field. It's the first time Detroit has lost consecutive games since October of the 2022 season.

A 52-yard catch-and-run by St. Brown following the kickoff immediately put the Lions in Rams territory. This time, the Lions reached the endzone via an eight-yard touchdown pass from Goff to St. Brown to regain the lead 17-14 with 6:12 to go in the first half.

With the third straight loss for the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers clinched at least a wild-card spot and still could catch the Chicago Bears for the NFC North title.
