The Pittsburgh Steelers are ready to roll on Sunday and begin the season against the Atlanta Falcons, but the bigger question is: who will be the starting quarterback? Last year’s starter is still working back from an injury, and Tua Tagovailoa injured his back in practice opening the door for Cooper Rush to start against Pittsburgh.
Let’s be frank, this doesn’t change much for the Steelers, who are expected to roll on Sunday. New Falcons head coach is dealing with adversity right out of the gate
and may have to turn to a career backup in the opener. It’s going to be a tee off session for the Steelers pass rush.
Here is Friday’s Three Rivers Report.
