Presumptive starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky played three drives on Saturday for the Pittsburgh Steelers. None of them resulted in points. None of them included him getting many favors from his teammates. And that started with poor execution on early downs.
In fact, the only time that he faced a third down during the game if under six yards was when he scrambled for a 10-yard gain following a three-yard loss on a carry by Benny Snell Jr., which set up a 3rd-and-3 play. His offense ultimately went 1-for-4 on third down, the only conversion on the opening drove on 3rd and 6, on which he hit Chase Claypool for a 29-yard gain on a slot fade.
