Kovacevic: Steelers try to downplay pristine preseason, but ... yeah, no

ATLANTA -- "No ... way! Can I have that?"

I'd just shown Jaylen Warren a fresh photo I'd saved into my iPhone, this from his 8-yard touchdown run early in the Steelers' 24-0 flattening of the Falcons in both teams' preseason finale Thursday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And his reflexive reaction was kinda meh ... until he realized Kenny Pickett's pose in the background.

First, I'll share the play:
