Steelers Jump Start The Pre-Season By Beating Super Bowl Champion Eagles 31-14

Welcome back football. For the first time in eight months, the Pittsburgh Steelers returned to action and what better test than the Super Bowl champion Philedelphia Eagles. Though while just preseason, both teams were hungry for football, with the Eagles answering back the Steelers blow for blow for majority of the first half. But thanks to a competitive quarterback group and an opportunistic defense, the Steelers emerged victorious 31-14.

The trio of Landry Jones, Josh Dobbs and rookie Mason Rudolph all came in looking to make a claim as the team’s primary backup and with their competitiveness driving one another, the offense recorded 31 points.
