The Pittsburgh Steelers went down to Georgia to open the 2024 NFL season against the Atlanta Falcons. They came away from Mercedes-Benz Stadium with an 18-10 victory. All 18 points came courtesy of K Chris Boswell’s leg.
The Steelers’ defense hounded Falcons QB Kirk Cousins all afternoon in his Atlanta debut. They sacked him twice, grabbed 2 interceptions and had multiple other sacks negated by penalties (real and otherwise). OLB T.J. Watt was the centerpiece of the disruptive defense, and the defense led the way in the victory.
It may not have been the offensive outburst the Steelers and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith would have loved.
