First-year head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers raved about the eighth-year veteran time and time again. Then, he fell flat in the Steelers’ win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. To your questions! Framebar: Hi Alex!

While it wasn’t pretty, the Pittsburgh Steelers started this season 1-0 after beating the Atlanta Falcons. The Steelers’ offense wasn’t as impressive as many people were hoping it would be, but the defense carried Pittsburgh to a 20-13 win. Despite the Steelers winning that game, former NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth got a case of deja vu while watching them. And not in a good way. “I’m gonna sell the Steelers,” Whitworth said Thursday on his Fitz and Whit podcast. “The reality is, to ...
