It’s never a bad thing to start an NFL season 1-0. Wins are hard to come by at this level, and any team can win on any given Sunday. But it’s fair to have expected the Pittsburgh Steelers to handle the Atlanta Falcons a little more than they did in Week 1. The Steelers held […]
It’s almost incomprehensible, but the Falcons haven’t immediately made a change to their starting QB plans. Cooper Rush remains QB1, though, the door is still open for things to change before we get to Sunday, according to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signing OLB Nick Herbig a four-year, $100 million extension this offseason raised immediate questions. Chief among them: How do you justify that price tag for a third outside linebacker, and how will they manage the rotation to ensure he gets enough snaps? While the sample size is just one regular-season game thus far, the results are hard to argue with. The Steelers’ OLBs combined for four sacks in their 20-13 win over the Falcons and stayed fresh in the process. T.J. ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers got the result they wanted in Week 1; however, their passing game still left plenty on the table.
