Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 19-10 win against the Carolina Panthers in Thursday night’s preseason finale.
WINNERS
DL Yahya Black
If there’s any silver lining to DL Derrick Harmon’s knee injury (which thankfully appear less severe than initially believed), it’s that Yahya Black looked strong in the second half. Granted, it came against Carolina’s backups in a game where they sat literally one-third of the roster. But Black capped off a strong summer with his first NFL sack and the absolute best sack celebration. After initially not receiving credit, Black was also given a sack on the next play, generating pressure and forcing a fumble that led to a takeaway for the Steelers’ defense.
