The Steelers, who don’t have Aaron Rodgers today, still have T.J. Watt and DK Metcalf.
They lead the Bears 21-17 at halftime.
Watt had a strip-sack of Caleb Williams in the end zone, which defensive lineman Nick Herbig covered for a defensive touchdown. Watt also has three tackles.
The Steelers scored their first touchdown on Metcalf’s 6-yard run.
The Bears were tied 14-14, opening the scoring with DJ Moore’s 5-yard touchdown reception and then tying it on Colston Loveland’s 12-yard touchdown reception.
The Steelers, though, used a fake tush push for a 55-yard run to the Bears 1 by Kenneth Gainwell late in the first half. Jaylen Warren scored on a 1-yard run with 1:19 remaining in the half.
The Steelers outgained the Bears 211 to 175.
Mason Rudolph is 10-of-11 for 86 yards and an interception, which set up the Bears’ first touchdown. Gainwell has five carries for 73 yards.
Williams is 10-of-21 for 120 yards and two touchdowns. He also has three carries for 22 yards. Luther Burden has three catches for 46 yards.
