Quarterback Kenny Pickett and the Steelers starting offense put together an efficient 10-play drive that ended in a touchdown in last week’s preseason opener against the Buccaneers.
That was all the first unit got in that game, but that’s set to change in Saturday’s contest against the Bills.
We’ll play it by ear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If8SM6F5EH0),” head coach Mike Tomlin said in his Thursday press conference. “I acknowledge that those guys are going to play. I will also acknowledge that they’re going to play more. But what that is, as I stand here right now, I’d be lying if I gave you a direct answer.”
Pickett finished the preseason opener 6-of-7 passing for 70 yards with a 33-yard touchdown to George Pickens. Tomlin said he wants to see Pittsburgh’s offense get better in all areas this weekend.
Tomlin also praised Pickett for the way the quarterback has handled his first training camp as an incumbent starter.

Credit Pickett.

He has matured by leaps and bounds since last year.

Pittsburgh has been the model franchise since the merger. Three coaches, six SBs and countless div titles.

They have one off year, and are usually back in the playoffs the following campaign.

If Cincinnati thinks they are going to coast through the division, they have another think coming.

Tomlin can do some dumb **** on gameday but his teams are always prepared.
