On Friday night the Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the preseason against the Houston Texans. Head coach Mike Tomlin had talked about wanted to see clean, mistake free football but that was not what he got.Sloppy play on both sides of the football made things easy for the Texans early on Martin Havlat Jersey and this game is going to give the Steelers coaches plenty to think about when practice resumes.Preseason games are an opportunity for players to stand out if they are hoping to win a spot in the starting lineup or even a spot on the 53-man roster. Here are our winners and losers from the lo s.WinnersCB Cory Trice - Trice only had one tackle so you might wonder why hes on the list. After mi sing all of Jeremy Roenick Women Jersey his rookie season in 2023 with a torn ACL after such a strong offseason, hes a winner because hes back on the field making plays.DL DeMarvin Leal - After a rough 2023, Leal has trimmed down and looks more like the guy the Steelers drafted. Leal had a sack and seems Zack Smith Men Jersey to be ready to be a rotational guy off the edge.RB Jonathan Ward - The Steelers running back depth chart is pretty crowded but Ward made a strong case on Friday to be the teams No. 3 back after 26 yards on six carries that included a 20-yard run.QB Kyle Allen - We arent sure why the Steelers decided to give Justin Fields two drives and then go with Allen for the entirety of the game otherwise. Neverthele s, Allen made the most of it with 193 pa sing yards and a touchdown. Allen also rushed for 11 yards on a scramble.LosersC Nate Herbig - Herbig is in a positional battle with rookie Zach Frazeri and so having two bad snaps in three drives is not the Lance Bouma Women Jersey way to hold off the talented rookie.K Matthew Wright - Wright wont be the Steelers starting kicker but every rep is an audition for another job so mi sing an extra point isnt deal.WR Quez Watkins - Another guy in a position battle is wide receiver Quez Watkins. He finished with no catches, one fumble on a punt return that set the Texans up deep in Steelers territory. John Hayden Women Jersey DT Keeanu Benton - 2024 is supposed to be a breakout season for Keeanu Benton and we think it will be but Benton was lost early in the game with an eye injury.
