For the third time in four weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing a quarterback who did not open the season as the intended starter. The previous two instances came about due to in-game injuries. Still, in this case, Aidan O’Connell is now the starting quarterback after the Las Vegas Raiders benched Gardner Minshew, moxie and all.
So, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Steve Palazzolo believes O’Connell could give the Steelers just enough reason to worry. After all, they have a history of bad losses to quarterbacks like Bruce Gradkowski and Terrelle Pryor against the Raiders.
