The Pittsburgh Steelers may have not erupted with a breakout performance on both sides of the football on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but we did see this team take notable strides forward.
Pittsburgh’s offense which struggled mighty to get anything going the first two weeks of the season showed more signs of life in primetime as QB Kenny Pickett recorded his first multiple passing touchdown game of his young career while the running game went for over 100 yards as a team for the first time this season. The defense took a step forward themselves at stopping the run, holding RB Josh Jacobs to 62 yards after getting gashed on the ground the first two weeks of the year.
