Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 31-25 win Saturday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the teams’ preseason opener.
WINNERS
QBs Mason Rudolph & Skylar Thompson
Pittsburgh’s top two quarterbacks tonight were excellent. Rudolph went a perfect 7-of-7 on his opening drive, consistently throwing over the middle and ending with a 19-yard throw down the seam to TE Darnell Washington. Rudolph took one bad coverage sack but finished the night with just a lone incompletion.
Thompson relieved him midway through the second quarter and ran a successful two-minute drill to close out the first half.
