Live reaction: Steelers beat Falcons 24-0 in third preseason game

"Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin shares his thoughts from the Pittsburgh Steelers' 24-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Bergin praises the play of second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett. The Steelers offense scored touchdowns on all five of Pickett's drives in the 2023 preseason. Pickett connected with Diontae Johnson on a 33-yard pass to convert a key third down on the opening drive. He also found George Pickens along the sideline for a 35-yard pass. Najee Harris capped off the drive with a touchdown. Jaylen Warren capped off the second drive with an eight-yard touchdown run. Bergin was impressed by the Steelers' edge rushers, including sacks by T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. Bergin thinks Herbig has been the Steelers' best rookie this preseason. Topics include what the team needs to do to prepare for Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, how the team will make its cuts for the 53-man roster by Aug. 29 and what the Steelers need to accomplish for it to be considered a successful season.<br /> Follow Ike Taylor on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads Follow Mark Bergin on social media: Facebook, Twitter,  Instagram, YouTube, Threads Ike Taylor Swaggin U' T-shirts: Tap here Taylor Talkin' T-shirts: Tap here
