Tennessee rookie quarterback Will Levis threw for 262 yards but his 39th and final pass ended up being the first interception of his career when Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander picked off a pass at the goal line with 6 seconds remaining to seal it.

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was carted off the field with just over 2 minutes to go when he landed hard on the Acrisure Stadium turf after unsuccessfully trying to haul in a fourth-down heave from Levis. The second-year pro lay on the Acrisure Stadium turf for several minutes while being tended to by medical staff from both teams. He was carted off the field but did have movement in all four extremities. The Titans said Burks had full movement in all his extremities.
