The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in their second preseason game of 2018. Here’s how to watch online.
After an impressive start to their 2018 preseason campaign, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to continue their success in Green Bay. With plenty of players now having the spotlight, this team is hoping to answer questions and determine position battle leaders as they move into the second half of their exhibition season.
With a number of players proving their worth in Week 1, the Steelers have dark horses everywhere. In this preseason matchup, the offense will be ran by Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph. Both will be looking to earn their roster spot, and after average Week 1 performances, neither can afford to slow down.
At wide receiver, Damoun Patterson is the man to watch. He’s certainly gained ground on the rest of the receiving core. Whether or not he’s worth a roster spot is still highly debatable, but with his debut performance, he’s certainly earned the consideration.
On defense, the Steelers are still trying to figure out their inside linebacker position. Neither Jon Bostic or Tyler Matakevich proved themselves in Week 1. They’ll need a strong performance in Wisconsin in order to gain any ground on this position battle.
Overall, this one is another important competition for Pittsburgh. Eyes will be everywhere, and this could very well be a turning position for a number of position battles. The Steelers’ defense should see Aaron Rodgers on the field in the first quarter, providing a great opportunity to test themselves against an NFL elite quarterback.
On top of it all, Morgan Burnett gets to return to Lambeau field for the first time in a different jersey. It’ll be fun to watch the safety face-off against his former team. No one’s fighting for a Super Bowl ring, but there will definitely be some intensity when he hits the field.
