Things turned pretty ugly quite fast against the San Francisco 49ers for the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in the first season opener at home since the 2014 season.
It’s not the way the Steelers wanted things to go — at all. An offense that showed so much promise in the preseason fell flat on its face and couldn’t throw or run the football against one of the best defenses in the league, and a star-studded defense couldn’t stop San Francisco’s high-powered attack, resulting in an ugly 30-7 loss at home.
Now, the Steelers open AFC North play in Week Two at home on Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns.
