The Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Green Bay Packers 28-9 in their preseason opener as rookie quarterback Drew Allar records three total touchdowns. Multiple outlets report that his scoring came in limited early work, including two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports both describe him as exceeding expectations in his NFL debut.
The reports consistently credit Allar with leading the offense to three touchdowns on three drives or series. Yahoo Sports and The Athletic emphasize that his production stands out in the context of the preseason game, while CBS Sports highlights the rapid impact across his first series. Yardbarker and other coverage frame the performance as setting a positive tone for the Steelers’ future. Newsweek also adds details beyond the field, including claims that the team quickly sold out of Allar jerseys after the debut. Other notes mention additional contributions such as Kaden Wetjen, but the central focus remains Allar’s three-score performance.
