Steelers Offense Keeps Rolling, Finds End Zone On Opening Possession Against Falcons

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-team offense is still batting one-thousand. For the fourth time on four possessions this preseason, the Steelers’ starting unit found the end zone. They used two big pass plays to get there but finished things off with a short run, RB Najee Harris barreling ahead from one-year out to finish off an eight-play, 92-yard drive.

The Steelers’ offense started off backed up when KR Anthony McFarland aggressively took the ball out eight yards deep into the end zone. A Mark Robinson penalty pushed Pittsburgh back to their own eight. Facing a third and five on the third play of the game, QB Kenny Pickett hit WR Diontae Johnson for a perfectly-placed throw down the left-sideline for a 33-yard gain.
