Saturday night was another poor showing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason. The team fell to the Buffalo Bills in Week Two which followed a loss to the Houston Texans the week before. Pittsburgh could only muster a single field goal on Saturday night and it is starting to feel like, despite all the changes to this roster, it's going to be more of the same in 2024.

Not everything was bad about Saturday's performance and there were a few guys who took advantage of their opportunities. Here are our winners and losers from the game.

Winner - P Cam Johnston
