Anticipation for an eventful Pittsburgh Steelers campaign kicked off Sunday afternoon in spectacular fashion.
With a retooled roster and plenty of offseason buzz, fans hoped to see a more dynamic team on both sides of the ball. And while the offense delivered flashes of excitement, the defense — particularly veteran cornerback Darius Slay — suffered a humbling blow early in the game.
It didn’t take long for the Steelers' newly acquired Pro Bowl duo of Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf to find their groove in Arthur Smith’s offensive system.
Rodgers looked poised and in control, while Metcalf quickly established himself as a go-to target.
