ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- To get you ready for the first game of the season, I wrote about the start of the Mitch Trubisky era, and noted the best-case scenario for the Steelers would be for Trubisky to succeed as the stopgap between Ben Roethlisberger and Kenny Pickett. That, as the theory went, would allow some time for the franchise's first-round pick of the 2022 draft to learn the NFL game before dealing with the pressure of taking over the reins of the offense while trying to live up to sky-high expectations.
