Jason Mackey: Steelers' Week 1 win was imperfect, but history won't ask 'how'

The Steelers won their season opener against the Bengals, 23-20, but it was far from a perfect performance.

Steelers' QB, Trubisky, threw for 194 yards and one touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions.

The Steelers' defense gave up 383 total yards, including 275 passing yards to Bengals' QB Burrow.

The Steelers also committed 10 penalties for 83 yards.

Despite the imperfections, the Steelers found a way to win.

They made big plays when they needed to, and they forced three turnovers.

The Steelers also got a big play from their special teams, as Miles Boykin returned a punt 41 yards to set up the game-winning field goal.

History will only remember that the Steelers won, not how they won.

The Steelers are now 1-0 on the season, and they have a chance to improve to 2-0 next week when they host the Patriots.

The Steelers will need to play better if they want to make a deep playoff run, but for now, they can enjoy their Week 1 victory.
