00:03 And it's a fair point, DRS, right?
00:05 Health is contingent for any future bet or projection.
00:09 But it's a little bit different when
00:11 it pertains to head injury.
00:12 With so much unknown, and that's the future
00:15 for Tua Tungabailoa.
00:16 It's different than a quarterback injuring his arm
00:18 and coming back the next year, or a wide receiver
00:21 spraining his ankle and then being back
00:23 on the playing surface.
00:24 Head injury is still a very gray area
00:27 around the National Football League.
00:29 But Tua did get the start on Saturday, as did CJ Stroud.
00:32 Two more starting quarterbacks also starting on Saturday.
00:36 And a good one in Pittsburgh.
00:37 Kenny Pickett made the start for the Steelers.
00:40 Josh Allen got the start for Buffalo.
00:42 And Josh Allen, DRS, played three offensive possessions
00:45 for Buffalo.
00:46 He won 7 of 10 for 64 yards.
00:48 But it was Kenny Pickett on the other side for the Steelers,
00:51 leading two scoring drives.
00:53 And Pittsburgh picking up its second consecutive win
00:56 here in the preseason.
00:58 27-15.
00:59 The Steelers were a slight underdog at home.
01:02 And DRS, the total was 42 and 1/2 between the Bills
01:05 and the Steelers, staying under by the hook.
01:10 I'm telling you, you look at the Steelers team, not granted.
01:12 Can you take a lot out of preseason wins and losses?
01:14 Not really.
01:15 But they are 2 and 1 here.
01:16 Keep in mind also in this game, that ended up 27 to 15.
01:19 They were up 27 to nothing.
01:20 And over the weekend, I did take a piece of the Pittsburgh
01:23 Steelers to win the Super Bowl.
01:24 I said, Donny, you're crazy.
01:25 They're not winning the Super Bowl.
01:26 Hear me out.
01:27 I understand that.
01:28 But at those type of price points
01:29 that you're getting all from the Pittsburgh Steelers,
01:32 if they make it to the playoffs, that
01:33 is going to turn into a money ticket.
01:35 And also, what's not to like about the Steelers?
01:37 If Kenny Pickett progresses, Ben, from his rookie year
01:39 to his sophomore season in the NFL like we think he should,
01:42 there's talent all over the place.
01:44 Why not the Steelers to make a playoff run?
01:46 I think they could do it.
01:48 (upbeat music)
