With a new-look offense featuring a backup starting quarterback and a backup starting left guard, the Pittsburgh Steelers needed someone to step up and make some plays for them Sunday in Atlanta to put some points on the board.
Turns out, that was veteran Kicker Chris Boswell.
Boswell drilled all six field goal attempts on the day, powering the Steelers to an 18-10 win over the Falcons to move to 1-0 on the season.
Backup quarterback Justin Fields got the start for the injured Russell Wilson, while left guard Spencer Anderson started in place of the injured Isaac Seumalo in new coordinator Arthur Smith’s first regular-season game calling plays for the Steelers.
