At Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, the Arizona Cardinals showcased their determination to improve their season record. The team's offense accumulated a total of 282 yards with an average gain of 4.5 yards per play over the course of 63 plays. The rushing attack contributed significantly to this effort, amassing 150 yards on 38 attempts and scoring two touchdowns. Notably, one rush broke through for an impressive longest run of 29 yards.


The passing game was equally effective for the Cardinals as they managed to complete over half their passes with a completion percentage rounding up to approximately 57 percent for a total passing yardage of 145. This included one touchdown pass which happened to be also the longest pass completed at a distance of just over twenty yards.


Special teams played their part flawlessly; every red zone attempt resulted in points on the board thanks to perfect efficiency in both red zone and goal-to-go situations. The kicking unit was precise as well, successfully converting all three extra-point attempts and nailing a long field goal from beyond fifty yards.


Defensively, the Cardinals were relentless; they forced three three-and-outs and recovered one fumble while not allowing any sacks or interceptions against them. Their defense also made four successful passes defended which helped keep pressure on the Steelers' offense throughout the game.


On penalties front though there were six infractions costing them fifty-one penalty yards but it did not deter them from maintaining control throughout most parts of this encounter.


The home team Steelers struggled to find similar success against their visitors' defense managing only ten points despite using all available timeouts during gameplay but could not convert these opportunities into significant gains or scores.
