Pittsburgh Steelers QB Skylar Thompson shined in Pittsburgh’s preseason debut on Saturday night, a 31-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Aaron Rodgers not playing and the team losing Will Howard to a broken finger earlier this week, Thompson played most of the reps for the Steelers, replacing QB Mason Rudolph in the second quarter and going 20-28 for 233 yards and three touchdowns. Speaking to Missi Matthews after the game on the KDKA broadcast, Thompson praised the entire offense for getting into an early rhythm.
“We were able to get into a rhythm, and it started with Arthur [Smith] just putting us in some great play calls.
