Steelers Lose Preseason Finale to Lions 24-17

The Detroit Lions rallied from a 14-0 deficit to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-17 in their preseason finale, with key performances from Jermar Jefferson, who rushed for two touchdowns, and Hendon Hooker, who showcased his play-making ability despite some struggles. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields led touchdown drives for the Steelers, but the team ultimately went winless in the preseason for the first time since 2006. Meanwhile, James Houston's future with the Lions appears uncertain, though his pass-rush skills make a strong case for his retention. In other preseason action, Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyler Huntley made a strong case for a practice squad spot with a late touchdown pass against the Seattle Seahawks. New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler also showed promise, throwing his first touchdown of the preseason against the Tennessee Titans.
