Despite a furious comeback attempt by the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Steelers recorded a 29-24 win in a wild game that literally came down to the wire.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to escape Detroit with a win over the Lions on Sunday as an offensive pass interference negated the go-ahead touchdown.

The Lions host the Steelers and longtime foe Aaron Rodgers in a crucial game for two teams trying to earn spots in the postseason.

It also narrowed Detroit's postseason path to just about the narrowest one possible. The Packers (9-5-1) remained 1.5 games up on the Lions with two games to go for both teams, meaning the Lions' only path to the playoffs is to win both of their next two games AND have the Packers lose both of their next two games.

The Detroit Lions fell to 8-7 with a shocking 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday — and now the Lions’ chances of making the playoffs stand at only 6%, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have pushed the Detroit Lions to the brink of elimination from the playoffs thanks to a wild finish.

Pittsburgh secured its ninth win of the season in wild fashion, with Detroit coming up just short on a strong comeback effort in the fourth quarter.
