Quarterback's Reflections
“A lot of stuff wasn’t working. I was just a little bit off, missed DK [Metcalf] early, could’ve been a big play. But yeah, we didn’t run the ball super effectively in the first half. I missed, obviously, some throws, for sure. And then we weren’t getting guys open and couldn’t put it all together. Times guys were open, I missed the throws that I usually make.
Our defense played really well tonight. Offensively, we were pretty bad. So, we’ve got to find a way to get open on third down, I’ve got to find a way to hit ‘em, because that was just some bad ball.”
Game Highlights
Pittsburgh started the game with strong momentum, as Chris Boswell successfully kicked a 59-yard field goal. This marked his 50th field goal from 50 or more yards out in 60 attempts, putting the Steelers ahead 3-0 early in the first quarter.
