Things couldn’t have gotten off to a much better start last night for the Pittsburgh Steelers even if they scripted it—and to be clear, the NFL only scripts its games in the regular season, not the preseason. But whether contrived or not, this team understands that the way they played tonight is what they need to be doing every game.
Getting the ball first after the Buffalo Bills deferred, QB Kenny Pickett and the first-string offense found the end zone in just six plays spanning 86 yards. After a key third-and-8 conversion to WR Allen Robinson II, it was RB Jaylen Warren who popped off for a 62-yard touchdown run.
