Steelers Win Final Pre-Season Game (Thanks, Again, to Reed!)


Again, Steelers Kicker Jeff Reed won the game for them by kicking a 43-yard field goal last night against the Florida Panthers. The final score was 19 - 16.

"That was a good finish to what has been a very good preseason for us," said head coach Mike Tomlin. "We got a lot of things accomplished that we wanted to get accomplished tonight. We felt that it was necessary to get some no-huddle offense) in with our first offense inside stadiums in the preseason. That is a weapon that we like to use offensively, so we needed to get that done. We got a couple of series of that. We wanted the defense to come out and get after the run again and build upon the performance that we had last week. I thought that we did a nice job against the run."
