The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers played at Acrisure Stadium, the playing surface came under fire in the Steelers’ 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns.
That day, safety Miles Killebrew was lost for the season with a knee injury, and kicker Chris Boswell slipped on a field goal attempt and escaped injury on a bad field. It’s unclear if the surface had anything to do with Killebrew’s knee injury, but the conditions that day certainly couldn’t have helped.
Those conditions ultimately led to plenty of complaints from players to the NFLPA, citing player safety issues.
