There is one final preseason game coming up for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. They will be traveling to Atlanta to face the Falcons, a team they played last year and nearly allowed to run down their throats in the second half after controlling the game in the first.
They are excited about the challenge of facing that same team again, and of facing that challenge ahead of their opening-week matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, another team that very much loves to run the football. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin sees it as a good test for what’s to come.
