It was one preseason game, but plenty of Steelers’ fans are excited about the display their team had on the offensive side of the football Friday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Who could blame them? Pittsburgh looked sharp right from the start, marching down the field on the opening drive, capping it off with an impressive throw from QB Kenny Pickett to WR George Pickens that he caught over the middle of the field and broke away after the catch to take it to the house.
Throw in the TDs from RB Anthony McFarland Jr. and WR Calvin Austin III, Pittsburgh was having more success in the splash play category on the offensive side of the football in a preseason game than they had through multiple games during the 2022 season.
