Positional Grades: Steelers vs. 49ers
Boy, that was about as ugly as it gets.
After all the offseason hype and anticipation, the wheels fell off the bandwagon rather quickly for the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. Pittsburgh fell 30-7 to the San Francisco 49ers, putting a bit of a dampened mood on the 2023 season already.
Second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett looked rather rough, the rebuilt offensive line got punched in the mouth over and over again by San Francisco’s front, the defensive line had a tough time after Cameron Heyward left with a groin injury, and the secondary had no answer for San Francisco’s passing game, losing the season opener in ugly fashion.
Let’s get to some grades here.
QB — F
