8:56 p.m. – What Went Right: The possession didn't end with any points, but the Steelers flashed some things at the start of the second half that they hadn't been able to do to that point in the game. Ray-Ray McCloud returned the kickoff 34 yards and was just tripped up before he broke into the clear, and then Benny Snell ripped off gains of 3, 14, and 5 yards on the first three offensive plays. The drive stalled, but Dustin Colquitt's punt was fair caught at the 9-yard line.
8:44 p.m. – What Went Right: One of the most critical jobs facing the Steelers defense on Monday night was controlling Giants running back Saquon Barkley. In the first half, Barkley had nine carries for minus-3 yards. A key contributor in this area was Bud Dupree, who finished the half with four tackles, including two for loss. The defense also record two sacks – by Vince Williams and Stephon Tuitt – and the takeaway was an interception by T.J. Watt.
HALFTIME: Steelers 16, Giants 10
8:36 p.m. – What Went Right: It took almost the entirety of the first half, but by the time there were only seven seconds left in the second quarter, the Steelers offense was looking like the Steelers offense. Starting at their 20-yard line, Ben Roethlisberger drove the team 80 yards in eight plays to cap it off with a 13-yard touchdown to James Washington and the Steelers left the field with a 16-10 halftime lead. Roethlisberger completed a 21-yard pass to Washington, then two more to JuJu Smith-Schuster for 17 and then 14 yards, and then Roethlisberger scrambled for 11 yards to put the ball at the 13-yard line with 14 seconds left. On the touchdown play, Washington caught the ball at about the 2-yard line, then broke a tackle by Adrian Colbert and powered through an attempted tackle by Julian Love to get the ball across the goal line.
