The Pittsburgh Steelers were completely lifeless in today’s 30-7 Week One loss to the San Francisco 49ers, getting outplayed early and never recovering. One of the worst plays was a 4th and 4 with 2:02 left in the fourth quarter, with QB Kenny Pickett incomplete to TE Pat Freiermuth on the San Francisco 8-yard line, causing a turnover on downs. Pickett talked about that play and the need to get things turned around and fixed quickly in his postgame press conference.
“Pat saw it differently than I saw it, so it was just us communicating and being able to connect on that,” Pickett said on what went wrong on the 4th and 4 play.
