The Steelers' preseason and offseason honeymoon that sprouted boundless optimism into the regular season came to a screeching halt on all three phases in a matter of minutes.
In Sunday's season opener at Acrisure Stadium, it was a beatdown of the Steelers' rebuilt offensive line, a picking-apart of a defense consistently on its heels, and days from Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey which all contributed to a 49ers victory, 30-7, over the Steelers.
Up until their final drive of the first half, which started with 1:35 remaining, the Steelers had mustered one futile yard of total offense.
