There are so many interesting ways to slice and dice the Steelers’ season-opening 38-16 win over the Redskins Monday night in Washington.
It was the Steelers’ sixth straight win over the Redskins. The last time the Redskins beat the Steelers was 1991, the year of their last championship.
It was the first time the Steelers won a prime time opener on the road since beating the Browns 43-0 in 1999. They had been 0-3 in such games since then.
It was just the Steelers’ second Week 1 victory in the last six years, and the first time they started the season with a convincing win since beating the visiting Texans 38-17 in 2008.
