PFF provides a quick low light of the Steelers giving their chances to win away to the Lions. Pittsburgh was within field goal range, but rookie tight end fumbled the ball, leading to a turnover.

Furthermore, this game was so bad, that Pro Football Reference points out how rare the late overtime fumble was. That means this Steelers-Lions game was historically bad. This isn't the type of football the NFL wants on the field, as it was just plain ugly.

At the very least, the Lions can officially avoid going 0-18 on the year. However, they're still in danger of going defeated, as they could still end up with an NFL record of 0-16-1, which actually might be worse.

As for the Steelers, they struggled without Ben Roethlisberger in the lineup and had some key injuries on the defense. Even so, we might have received a glimpse into Pittsburgh's future once Big Ben retires from the NFL.
