Falcons vs Steelers: Key Moments from the Game
Falcons vs Steelers Unfolds
The Falcons vs Steelers match revealed the Pittsburgh Steelers' conservative approach to offense led by backup quarterback Justin Fields. Chris Boswell made history with six field goals, scoring all points for the Steelers. Despite this, the lack of touchdowns raises concerns for their future games.
Steelers' Conservative Strategy
The Steelers adopted a cautious strategy early, with Fields completing only two passes beyond 10 yards in the first half. This changed as they took aim at deeper throws, leading to points. They need to wrap up games with touchdowns.
- First half passing struggles
- Key connections with George Pickens
- Defensive victories helped secure the win
Kirk Cousins' Faltering Debut
On the other hand, Kirk Cousins' debut was less than ideal, finishing with one touchdown and two interceptions. Under significant pressure from the Steelers' defense, Cousins' struggles highlight the offensive challenges the Falcons must address.
- Two costly interceptions
- Inability to handle the pressure from the Steelers' edge rushers
- Failed to deliver on the fans' expectations
The Falcons vs Steelers game demonstrated the Steelers' ability to capitalize defensively while equally exposing the issues that the Falcons, especially Cousins, must tackle moving forward. As the season progresses, both teams will need to rethink their approaches.
