The Steelers kept staying within arm’s reach of the Jaguars on Sunday up until the end. Ben Roethlisberger’s pitch to Le’Veon Bell for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter was one of the more impressive touchdowns.

This was a smart move by Big Ben.
On a first-and-goal from the Jaguars 9-yard line, Roethlisberger began to run with no receivers open. Past the line of scrimmage, he threw the ball backward to Bell for a touchdown to make it a 42-35 game:
The touchdown wouldn’t matter because Chris Boswell’s onside kick barely went six yards and was touched by a Steeler.
Josh Lambo later hit a field goal with 1:44 to go, putting the Jaguars up 45-35.
The game has been a fun one to watch. Roethlisberger had a much better performance compared to his last game against the Jags, when he threw five interceptions. This time around, Roethlisberger threw four touchdowns and just one interception.
The Jaguars, however, have just been too much. While it hasn’t been one of their better defensive games, they’ve managed to show up on offense, especially Leonard Fournette, who has three touchdowns and over 100 yards rushing.
