All those live tackling reps during training camp under head coach Mike Tomlin seemed to pay off — for the most part — for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium.
In the 32-25 win over Seattle, the Steelers missed just 12 tackles on the night. That number might appear a bit alarming on an initial reading, but considering it was the first preseason game, it was pretty solid overall. That said, four of the 12 misses on the night led to significant plays for the Seahawks, including three that led directly to one touchdown on the night.
