Turns out, all Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky needed was one final opportunity in overtime to do something positive offensively for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Shaking off a rather disappointing and rough debut through four quarters and one overtime two overtime drives, Trubisky took advantage of the third one in the extra session, driving the Steelers 45 yards in eight plays — highlighted by an absurd scramble and throw to Pat Freiermuth for 26 yards — eventually setting up the game-winning 53-yard field goal by Chris Boswell to send the Steelers to 1-0 on the season.
Speaking with reporters after the game, Trubisky stated that he was grateful for the final opportunity in overtime, allowing him to shake off some initial struggles and make plays late, helping lead the Steelers to the win, which resulted in him getting the game ball from head coach Mike Tomlin after the 23-20 thriller at Paycor Stadium Sunday.
