Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Thursday night’s preseason finale.
Winners
First-Team Offense – Again. You couldn’t script up a preseason better than this for the first-string guys. Five possessions, five touchdowns. Yes, today’s two scores came against the Falcons’ backups but Pittsburgh took care business against everyone this summer, starters and second-string.
This time, Pittsburgh mixed in big plays with finishing drives. There were long completions from Kenny Pickett to Diontae Johnson and George Pickens. But they also got to work low red zone with rushing scores from RB Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, which was good to get to rep and execute.
