Steelers struggle offensively in narrow victory over Falcons
Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 20-13 win against the Atlanta Falcons on September 13, 2026, but their offense faced significant challenges, totaling only 264 yards. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 40 passes for 221 yards while running backs Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle managed just 61 rushing yards on 18 carries. Key mistakes included a fumble by Warren that set up Atlanta's only touchdown. The Steelers' defense played a crucial role, forcing two turnovers, including a pick-six by T.J. Watt. For improvements, Pittsburgh will need to address its inconsistent offensive line and the performance of DK Metcalf, who caught just four passes for 40 yards.
