Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Drew Allar was nearly flawless in his NFL debut, completing 10 of 13 passes for 154 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 154.8 in Thursday night's 28-9 win over the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium. Allar also had a rushing touchdown to go along with his two touchdown passes.
Allar replaced Will Howard on the second possession in the third quarter, and it didn't take long for the Penn State product to turn heads. On his first pass attempt, Allar connected with fellow rookie Kaden Wetjen for a 74-yard gain.
Allar would have had his first career touchdown pass on the following play, but a wide-open Riley Nowakowski failed to haul in the catch.

The Pittsburgh Steelers running back position in 2026 will almost certainly be dominated by a combination of returning starter Jaylen Warren and 1,000-yard free agent addition Rico Dowdle.
But how exactly the starts, playing time and touches will be distributed between the backs still feels very much up in the air as we enter the third week of training camp.
Both backs started for their teams last year, with Warren starting 16 games for the Steelers and Dowdle making 11 starts for the Carolina Panthers. Both backs led their team in rushing: Warren had 958 in 16 games for the Steelers and Dowdle rushed for 1,076 yards in 17 games in Carolina.

Brisker is joining Pittsburgh after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Chicago Bears, who selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Over the last four years in the league, he has recorded 342 tackles, seven sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 21 passes defensed and four interceptions.
