Positional Grades: Steelers At Falcons

Well, that was quite an exhilarating ride for the season opener.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers typically do, they picked up an ugly win on the road, 18-10, over the Atlanta Falcons, to move to 1-0 on the season. The offense started slow, but made enough plays to get into scoring position. Kicker Chris Boswell was money on the day, accounting for all of the Steelers’ points, and the star-studded defense forced three turnovers and held the Falcons to just 54 yards in the second half.

Now, the Steelers move forward, preparing for a trip to Denver in Week 2 with some uncertainty at punter following Cameron Johnston’s serious injury.
