The Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Green Bay Packers 28-9 in their preseason opener, and rookie quarterback Drew Allar delivers a standout performance. Multiple outlets report that Allar accounts for three total touchdowns, including two passing scores and one rushing touchdown, with the team building its lead early in his limited time.
CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports both emphasize that Allar’s scoring comes quickly, with one report describing him scoring on three straight series. Another Yahoo Sports report also credits additional contributions from Pittsburgh’s young players, including Kaden Wetjen. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly notes Allar’s two touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown as the key scoring breakdown. Across the coverage, the overall common focus remains on Allar’s efficient production in his first NFL game action.
While outlets differ slightly in how they frame the “debut” narrative and highlight other rookies, they agree on the game result and Allar’s three-touchdown stat line in the Steelers’ win.
