Overall, the Friday night preseason opener for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Houston Texans was rather sloppy with fumbled snaps ,missed assignments, procedural penalties and poor fundamentals and execution in key situations of the game.
It drew the ire of head coach Mike Tomlin after the game. So, it’s back to work for the Steelers in Latrobe in the week ahead before the second preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
But, there is one positive that the Steelers can take away from the preseason opener. The Steelers, in their first game action of the year, tackled relatively well.
