Mitch Trubisky has been acknowledged as the presumed starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers for months now, ever since he signed in free agency, and that hasn’t really changed even since they used their first-round draft pick on Kenny Pickett.
He has opened each of the Steelers’ first two preseason games with the ones, but has thus far only amassed five total drives’ worth of play, including three tonight, with one score to show for it (Chris Boswell did have a missed field goal tonight, but they otherwise went blank with Trubisky under center).
The sixth-year veteran seemed to lament his lack of opportunities in his post-game comments when talking about building a rapport with his playmakers and how there’s a difficulty in achieving that in a limited amount of work.
