The Pittsburgh Steelers capped off the preseason with a 19-9 preseason win over the Detroit Lions Sunday evening, finishing a perfect 3-0 in exhibition play before the start of the regular season. The QB competition has been the talk of training camp and the preseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers as Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and Mason Rudolph all competed for the starting job.
Trubisky was given the entire first half with the first-string offense to show what he could do in Pittsburgh’s dress rehearsal prior to the start of the regular season and capitalized on the opportunity. He went 15/19 (79%) for 160 yards and a TD in the first half of play, showcasing good decision making by getting the ball out quick near the LOS while also taking several shots down the field.
