The score sits at a 13-10 in favor of the Steelers, a somewhat surprising outcome considering how things started off rough, with multiple Cardinal drives ending in a punt, the Steeler’s pass rush getting home, and a long punt return for a touchdown from Diontae Johnson.
An early fumble from Steeler running back Benny Snell allowed the Cardinal’s a chance to get on the board, but only managed to walk away with a field goal after another bout of redzone struggles.
Kyler Murray looked the lesser of the two rookie quarterbacks early in their duel today, struggling to adapt to Pittsburgh’s blitz attack and being hard pressed to find open receivers when the heat was off.
