What an encouraging opening to the preseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, coming out on top with a 27-17 victory. In this article I will provide data from Pro Football Focus (PFF) and takeaways from watching the film.
Offense:
The highest PFF grade on offense and in the game for Pittsburgh was tight end Connor Heyward, and impressive 93.7 in a very solid game, with two catches including a nice explosive play and a well-rounded game overall. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson had the second-best offensive grade (91.1), catching all three of his targets in an encouraging opening drive with the starters.
