Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led a six-play, 79-yard drive capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ebron with 2:14 left Sunday as the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers eked out a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, to remain unbeaten.

The winning drive was keyed by Diontae Johnson's 42-yard catch. Ebron leaped over Saivion Smith and into the end zone.

Pittsburgh, down 13 points in the first half and 10 points entering the fourth quarter, is 8-0 for the first time in franchise history.

For Dallas (2-7), Garrett Gilbert, in his first career start because of injuries to Andy Dalton and Dak Prescott, was 21 of 38 for 243 yards with a scoring pass to CeeDee Lamb. Greg Zuerlein kicked four field goals.

On its first possession, Dallas took a 3-0 lead on Zuerlein's 38-yarder.

In the second quarter, on their 25th series since their most recent touchdown, the Cowboys drove 65 yards and made it 10-0 as Gilbert rolled right and hooked up with Lamb in the end zone from 20 yards.

After holding Pittsburgh to 3-and-out, Cedrick Wilson tossed a long lateral to C.J. Goodwin on the ensuing punt return, and Goodwin ran 83 yards down the left sideline, but a block in the back at the Steelers' 21 meant the Cowboys started at the 31.
