Canada achieves what Steelers 'wanted to do' with first preseason plan

LATROBE, Pa. -- The Steelers' first drive of Friday's 27-17 win over Tampa Bay net the result everyone wearing black and gold wanted, but none was more pleased with the result than Matt Canada.

Kenny Pickett completed 6 of 7 passes on that drive, including his first five, and capped the 10-play, 83-yard trek downfield with a highlight-worthy 33-yard completion to George Pickens for the first touchdown of the Steelers' preseason.

The offense clicked beautifully, and it lost just one yard on those 10 plays -- on a Pickett completion to Najee Harris.
