Drew Allar competes for Steelers' backup QB role behind Aaron Rodgers

Drew Allar and Will Howard are vying for the Pittsburgh Steelers' backup quarterback position behind Aaron Rodgers as preseason games unfold. Allar showed promise in his debut but struggled in his second outing, completing 11 of 23 passes for 110 yards. In contrast, Howard faced challenges, throwing two interceptions for 74 yards on 15 attempts against the Jets. Allar's earlier standout performance, where he completed 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers, remains a highlight in the competition. The next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills is anticipated to further clarify the backup QB race.
