Sometimes, you gotta kick six field goals to victory. It’s not ideal, it’s not your game plan, but when it’s Week 1 and you’re on the road against an unfamiliar opponent with a quarterback you decided on starting two hours before kickoff, winning is all that matters. If that means six field goals, so be it. WR George Pickens’ 33-yard catch set up one of them, giving Pittsburgh a positive note to end the first half on.
After QB Kirk Cousins hit TE Kyle Pitts for a touchdown, Pittsburgh seemed destined to go into the half down 10-6.
