Just like that, the preseason has come and gone for the Pittsburgh Steelers, capped by a 24-17 loss to the Detroit Lions Saturday afternoon at Ford Field.
The Steelers’ first-team offense put together a touchdown drive as did the backups. The defense looked rather solid in the first half, getting after the quarterback in a major way.
But per usual in the preseason, things fell apart in the second half with backups in the game, leading to some sloppy football. The Steelers ultimately blew a 14-0 lead to finish the preseason with an 0-3 record, going winless in the preseason for the first time since 2013.
