The Pittsburgh Steelers are back for the first time in seven months, and in a preseason game for the first time in almost two years. Selected to compete in the Hall of Fame game against the Dallas Cowboys Thursday by virtue of having five players entering the Hall this weekend, the Steelers gave those legends a celebratory start to the four days of festivities with a 16-3 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
“To play, particularly just all that was going on this weekend here in Canton, the great Steelers being enshrined in the Hall of Fame, it was an honor for us to play and entertain them,” Tomlin said following the victory, the fourth consecutive preseason opener the Steelers have won.
