The Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions played to a 16-16 tie at Heinz Field on Nov. 14, 2021. Pat Freiermuth fumbled the ball with 15 seconds left in overtime with the Steelers driving and in Chris Boswell field goal range, allowing the Lions to escape with a draw.
Ben Roethlisberger missed the game while dealing with COVID-19, and the offense struggled to find the end zone backup Mason Rudolph, who completed 30 of 50 passes for 242 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Najee Harris had 105 yards on 26 carries, but the Steelers had to kick three field goals, and turned the ball over three times — Rudolph’s interception, Freiermuth’s fumble and a Diontae Johnson fumble late in regulation.
Jared Goff completed just 14 of 25 for 114 yards and was sacked four times.
The tie was a blip in the history between the teams, as the Steelers had won the previous five in a row are 13-2-1 in the last 16 games between the teams. That followed a period of Detroit dominance in the 1950s, when the Lions went 6-0-1 from 1950 to 1962.
The overall series is 17-14-2 in favor of the Steelers. In Detroit, the Lions lead, 12-6. At Ford Field, the Steelers are 2-1, with an overtime loss in 1998, followed by wins in 2009 and 2017.
