Pittsburgh Steelers produced little in a 9-3 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night, he also was hardly concerned.
Pittsburgh’s offense has so many new parts — from offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to a pair of quarterbacks in Wilson and Justin Fields to rookie center Zack Frazier — that it’s going to take time to figure things out.
The 35-year-old Russell Wilson, slowed by a calf injury for much of training camp, completed 8 of 10 passes for 47 yards. He also took three sacks during five scoreless series.
Wilson’s longest completion went for 12 yards, and that was on a little flip to running back Jaylen Warren, who did most of the work on the play. The downfield passing that’s one of the reasons the Steelers took a flyer on the nine-time Pro Bowler never materialized, though George Pickens almost made an acrobatic grab down the sideline in the second quarter.
