The Pittsburgh Steelers took the first step toward ending their postseason drought of two years.
With Ben Roethlisberger back for the first time since September 2019, Pittsburgh defeated the New York Giants 26-16 in Monday's Week 1 showdown at MetLife Stadium. Big Ben, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Benny Snell Jr. led the way in the effort and helped the Steelers join the Baltimore Ravens as the only AFC North teams at 1-0.
New York fell short at home despite a solid yardage day from Daniel Jones and two touchdowns from Darius Slayton, meaning it has now lost four consecutive season openers.
