PITTSBURGH – That wasn’t how Dan Campbell wanted to finish the preseason.
The Detroit Lions played most of their starters about a half in Sunday’s sloppy exhibition finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but at least the Lions can take solace in knowing their rebuilt pass rush looks ready for action heading into the regular season.
The Lions sat starting defensive tackles Michael Brockers and Alim McNeill (along with quarterback Jared Goff and running backs D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams) but still got consistent pressure on Steelers starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky from defensive ends Aidan Hutchinson and Charles Harris.
