Another week, another strong performance from veteran quarterback Skylar Thompson in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform.
One week after lighting up the Jacksonville Jaguars in the preseason opener, Thompson built off that performance, throwing for 113 yards on 10-of-15 attempts in the 17-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium.
Though Thompson did throw an interception, it was one that wasn’t his fault as wide receiver Lance McCutcheon had the ball bounce off of his hands in the red zone into the arms of Tampa Bay defensive back Kindle Vildor. Thompson was also sacked three times on the night behind a porous backup offensive line.
