Not Varsity-Like: Steelers Get Off To Sloppy Start In Preseason Finale

Though big names like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Isaac Seumalo, Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt didn’t play Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a number of big names on the field early inside Bank of America Stadium for the preseason finale.

Put simply, it was a slop-fest for the Black and Gold.

Just a few days ago, ahead of the preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tomlin said he expected the team to be “more varsity” when it comes to penalties, communication and cleanliness.

A few days later against the Panthers, it was anything but early on.
