Sunday’s offensive performance against the New Orleans Saints at Acrisure Stadium in a 20-10 win was exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers envisioned the offense would play like coming into the season.
A strong rushing attack that could take over games, a quarterback with mobility that could extend plays and move the chains when needed, and no turnovers, allowing the defense to get after things on the other side of the football.
For rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, it wasn’t pretty early on, but the young quarterback turned things around in the second half, made some key throws and — most importantly — didn’t turn the football over.
