With a new-look offense and a backup quarterback making his first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was a familiar face who did all of the scoring for the Black and Gold in the 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

After a shaky summer that saw him miss some kicks in the preseason and in training camp, Boswell made NFL history on Sunday in the win. He became the second kicker ever to hit 100 percent of his kicks with at least six field goals in Week 1 of the season, joining former NFL kicker John Carney.
