The Steelers opened their preseason with a 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans.
Several Steelers made their unofficial debuts, and others showed a spark they hadn’t in previous seasons with the team. Here are the winners and losers from Week 1 of the preseason.
Varsity
QB Justin Fields
Fields looked solid in his first in-game action with Pittsburgh. He went 5-of-6 for 67 yards, and made multiple throws that were what you wanted to see. He threw multiple sidearm passes around defenders that led to big yards, including his first throw to Najee Harris that went for 16 yards with a defender in his face.
