Four plays later, Smith connected with Brandon Chambers on a 13-yard strike for six-points (13-0).

Three minutes later, Farrell was on the scoreboard again. This time, Smith found Odem III from 15-yards out. The duo also connected on the two-point conversion to give the Steelers a 7-point lead (21-14).
