As great of a story as it is, it is not in the favor of the Pittsburgh Steelers to have Alejandro Villanueva in the starting lineup, especially given the manner in which he was given the promotion. He is still very much learning his craft, although he has shown growth during this trial by fire, and will ultimately be better for it.
Midway through the first quarter, Villanueva was docked for a false start on a second-and-10 play, one of a handful that he has had already this season, including one on special teams.
