Pittsburgh Steelers s vs. Detroit Lions | 2024 Preseason Week 3 Game Highlights

YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE RATE OF RETURN. THAT IS WHY IT IS SUCH A STEEP PENALTY IF YOU DON'T GO IN THE GIVEN LANDING ZONE. STEELERS WILL START AT THE THIRD DOWN COMING UP. WILSON WITH A GOOD POCKET, THEY ARE GOING AGAINST THE ONES. >> Jason: SIMILAR SITUATION TO LAST WEEK, GOING UP AGAINST THE QB WHO HAS STARTED A TON OF GAMES. YOU SAW PATRICK HOLMES AND THAT KANSAS CITY GAME, AND A GUY WHO STARTED 90 FULL GAMES IN HIS CAREER. RUSSELL WILSON STARTED A BUNCH OF GAMES, UNBELIEVABLE. A GREAT GAME A WEEK AGO AGAINST AT THE BE RUSSELL WILSON IN THE FIRST HALF, AND JUSTIN FIELDS IN THE SECOND HALF. >> Golden: WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO GET SOME PRESSURE ON RUSSELL WILSON. THE MORE TIME YOU GIVE HIM BACK THERE, THE EASIER YOU MAKE IT TO PICK HIM OFF. >> Jason: OPENS UP, UP THE BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HAD WITH THE COACHING STAFF, IF THEY COULD, THE ENTIRE GAME TODAY. NO DOUBT, AND BE COMFORTABLE THAT YOU FEEL GOOD, FOR THE LIONS OR ANOTHER TEAM THAT MIGHT BE LOOKING. >> Jason: LIKE YOU SAID IN THE OPENING, A LOT OF THEM WERE FIELD STOMACH FILLED UP. HE IS A GUY WHO IS TRYING TO >> Golden: HOOKER DID A FANTASTIC JOB SLIDING OVER AND DELIVERING A PASS WHILE MOVING. ZYLSTRA WITH THE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE, BUT THAT'S THE FIRST DOWN AND WE ARE MOVING AHEAD. THAT'S THE LIONS ALTERNATE BROADCAST. GOLDEN, YOU AND I HAVE REALLY BEEN INVOLVED IN THE POCKET. ESPECIALLY LAST WEEK. TOO LATE. >> Jason: WRAPPED IT UP, THIRD. TRYING TO KEEP THE POCKET HELD UP ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THE BALL IS OUT, AND THE STEELERS RIGHT McDONALD'S, I'M LOVING IT. RIGHT NOW -- >> Golden: WE HAVE SEEN THAT PITTSBURGH IS GETTING OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET AND MAKING PLAYS. THEY HAVE TO MAKE SOME >> Jason: THE MAJORITY, 11 FOR . THE BACKFIELD, DOWN THE SEAM, SHORT. >> Golden: ABSOLUTELY SHORT. THAT LAST PLAY, RIGHT SIDE. TO THE LEFT, TO TRY TO GET THAT BALL IN. >> Jason: THIS TIME IT OPENS GAMES. 1957 LIONS COME UP TO LAST SEASON. BOTH OF THOSE PLAYOFF WINS IN THIS BUILDING. SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO, AS WELL. 15 DAYS AWAY FROM DOING IT FOR YOU START OFF WITH THREE OF YOUR FIRST FOUR AT HOME. YOU HAVE TO DOMINATE AT HOME. WHEN YOU FINISH UP WITH FOUR OF THE LAST SIX AT HOME. >> Jason: SUSPENDED TWO GAMES DIFFERENT OPPONENTS. IF YOU CAN HANDLE BUSINESS AT HOME, INTO THE PLAYOFFS. >> Jason: CHICAGO, UNDER PRESSURE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL VERY WELL OR SETBACK, AND THAT'S GOING TO HELP, AS WELL. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COVER FOR LESS TIME. OF THOSE HITS. OVERALL, NICE JOB, MAKING A PLAY. A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE LIONS OFFENSE. >> Jason: GOT A BLOCK AGAIN, >> Jason: WALKING THROUGH THE TUNNEL, FANS LOVED SEEING YOU BACK HERE. EARLIER, HAD SOME GOOD MOVING THERE. FOOTBALL IS HARD, OKAY? IT'S HARD ENOUGH AS IT IS. AND WHEN YOU PUT 3RD & LONGS, IT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES. I THINK HIS SPEED IS INSANE. OBVIOUSLY HE CAN RUN DOWN THE FIELD, BUT BECAUSE HE HAS SO MUCH SPEED, IF HE CAN TIGHTEN UP HIS INTERMEDIATE ROUTES, EVERY ROUTE, SHUTTING IT DOWN >> Golden: REALLY NICE PACE, GETTING YOUR HEAD DOWN AND KEEPING YOUR FEET MOVING AND JUST GO. >> Jason: LOOKING AHEAD ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE 50. ARE. HE'S A NICE ROUTE RUNNER, HE'S CRISP. HE'S LIKE IF YOU HAVE THE GUYS WERE I WONDER HOW HE'S GOING TO FIND -- HE IS UP TOP, HE IS MOVING INTO THE SLOT. UP THE MIDDLE, AND FUNK HITS VERTICAL VERY QUICKLY AND HARD. LET'S KEEP AN EYE ON WILLIAMS AGAIN. I'M LOOKING FOR MY GUY TO GET THE BALL AND GET A LOOK. SEE WHAT HE DOES HERE. >> Jason: HE DOES. >> Jason: KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO POSSIBLY CUT THIS STEELERS LEAD IN HALF, MAYBE GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM. A QUICK STOP, TWO TIMEOUTS. IN THE END ZONE, AND HAS HIM! YOUNGEST GIRL, LONDON. I WAS THE ONLY CHILD THEY HAD BACK THEN. BUT THERE ARE SOME CUTE BABIES OUT HERE. THREE LITTLE RASCALS AT HOME NOW. >> Jason: IS OUT AND IT IS ABOUT THE BALL. SWARM, GO GET THE BALL. THOSE GUYS ARE ALL OVER IT RIGHT AWAY. IF YOU AND UNDRAFTED ROOKIE OUT OF OLE MISS, A FUN GUY TO TALK ABOUT IN THE PRESEASON. DAVENPORT STEPPING UP, AND BACK USING THAT FINAL TIMEOUT. >> Golden: RIGHT HERE, YOU PROBABLY NEED TO THROW THE BALL IN CASE IT'S INCOMPLETE, TO STOP THE CLOCK. SPEW ON THE OPT TO RUN IT, AND SUCCESS. THEY HAVE BROUGHT IN THE RIGHT GUYS TO UPHOLD THAT CULTURE, AND I THINK NOW IT IS JUST ALL ABOUT BEING CONSISTENT IN DOING IT YEAR AFTER YEAR. >> THE FANS KEEP UPHOLDING THEIR PART HERE. SOLD OUT IN A PRESEASON GAME. WHAT KIND OF BOOST TO THE FANS GIVE THIS TEAM? >> IT'S CRAZY. BY THE WAY, JUST TO PIGGYBACK, 945 RUSHING YARDS LAST SEASON. HE WAS REALLY MOTIVATED BY THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T HIT THE THOUSAND. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN PUSHING HIM ALL SUMMER LONG. >> Golden: A SPECIAL PLAYER, THIS THIRD QUARTER AND FOURTH QUARTER STILL TO GO. KYLE ALLEN IS STILL IN AT QB FOR THE STEELERS. TO OPEN THEIR SEASON AGAINST THE FALCONS. NOW ALAN LOOKING DOWN THE SIDELINE, AND IT IS DEZ FITZPATRICK, THE MICHIGAN NATIVE, WHO HAS A BIG PLAY DOWN THE FIELD. WAS ABLE TO BEAT GILMORE, AND ON PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT TO WORRY ABOUT COMMUNICATION AT THE CORNERBACK POSITION. SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS IN FORMATION, AND EMOTIONS. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR COMMUNICATION. >> Jason: THE 26-YARD ATTEMPT IS THROUGH. OF POSITIONS. JUST GOT TO HAVE A PACKAGE THERE FOR HIM. YOU MIGHT SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE. WE DON'T KNOW THE STATUS OF GIBBS AND HOW FAR HE HAS COME. BUT VAKI IS GOING TO BE GOOD, I BELIEVE. >> Jason: ALREADY SHOWING THE POTENTIAL. HENDON HOOKER, THAT BALL WAS TIPPED AND INTERCEPTED BY SUTTON. NOW SUTTON WILL RETURN IT AND GET OVER TO THE SIDELINE. HE IS SUSPENDED THE FIRST EIGHT A GOOD ROUTE, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP GOING. WAS PROBABLY A TAD BIT LATE, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP. THE BALL HAS TO STOP. YOU DON'T STOP THE BALL. SO WE WILL GET BACK TO THAT. ALWAYS THE BEST, BY THE WAY. WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM HENDON HOOKER IS SOMETHING DOWN THE FIELD. DELIVER SOME DOWN-THE-FIELD EXPLOSIVE PLAYS. WE KNOW YOU CAN USE YOUR LEGS AND SLANT ROUTES. >> Jason: LOOKING DOWN THE FIELD, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED! CLIMBS THE LADDER, AND HAS HIS BIGGEST PLAY OF THE GAME. THE FACT THAT HE GETS OUT TO THE OUTSIDE, THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. IN THE CLEAR FORCED COLLAR, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A FEDEX IN HIS LOCKER TOMORROW. THAT'S GOING TO BE COSTLY. >> Jason: THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PRESSURE, USING HIS LEGS AGAIN. HE DOES, FIRST DOWN. DESCRIBE HIM AS BEING THE CLOSEST STYLIZED TO DAVID MONTGOMERY. HE STAYS IN THE GAME. >> Golden: SOME TOUGH DECISIONS COMING UP FOR THE FAMILY AND THE COACHING STAFF. >> Jason: IN THE END ZONE, AND >> Jason: YOU ARE JUST WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT. >> Golden: COME ON. >> Jason: BEST FANS IN THE LEAGUE, BACK AT IT AT HOME. 21-17. JUST A PREVIEW OF WHAT WE WILL SEE WHEN SEPTEMBER 8TH ROLLS AROUND. RETURNING HERE, LOOKING FOR THE YOU. ESPECIALLY THAT DISCUSSION BEFORE THE GAME, YOU HAVE TO STAY LOCKED IN AND STAY IN PRACTICE AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. >> Golden: FOCUSING ON THE PROCESS. NOT NECESSARILY THE RESULTS. THE RESULTS WILL COME IF THE PROCESS IS RIGHT. >> Jason: FROMM GOES DOWN, HAS EXTRA YARDS. >> Jason: 1 OF 6 WIDE RECEIVERS INDUCED HISTORY WITH 3,000 CAREER YARDS. FORMER HIGH SCHOOL QB KAREN WIDE RECEIVER, UNDRAFTED, TRYING TO MAKE THE TEAM. BIG PLAY FOR HIM THERE. IN THIS SITUATION, YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO KICK THE FIELD GOAL AND GO UP 7. >> Jason: FROM 46, HE WAS HITTING 57 IN WARM-UPS. THERE WAS A FLAG BEFORE THE SO MAYBE FORECASTING HERE, TO PICK UP A WIN BEFORE YOU GET IT GOING IN THE REGULAR SEASON. >> Golden: THAT WOULD BE NICE TO PUT THE CHERRY ON TOP OF THE PRESEASON. FOR THE LIONS. >> Jason: CHAMPLIN IS STOPPED
