Things were pretty sloppy and ugly for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener against the Houston Texans last Friday at Acrisure Stadium.
Ball security issues, particularly on the center-quarterback snap exchange, penalties, missed throws and more contributed to a 20-12 loss that drew the ire of head coach Mike Tomlin.
If there is one true positive that everyone can agree upon to take out of the game, that would be the performance of rookie linebacker Payton Wilson.
Wilson played a game-high 44 snaps and showed off his athleticism and range, making plays all over the field.
