The Carolina starters thumped the Pittsburgh Steelers backups who used this game as a tune-up for the regular season for their starters. Carolina continued their domination even when bringing in their third string quarterback and other players from deep on their depth chart. The Steelers touchdown extremely late in the game brought the score to 34-9 but could not even convert the point after touchdown.
I attended the Steelers preseason game against the Detroit Lions. There was a lot to look forward to in the 26-20 victory. But an unexpected trip to Las Vegas resulted in me being on an airline flight during the final 2021 Steelers preseason game.
