Steelers fans celebrated T.Watt's pick-six but can't stop side-eyeing the run blocking and DK Metcalf.

The emotional rollercoaster

What happened

T.Watt's pick-six on C.Rush in the fourth was the kind of moment that rewrites a Sunday, turning a nervy afternoon into a 20-13 win that felt closer than the box score. Still, A.Rodgers coughing it up early, a wide-right 56-yarder from C.Boswell, and an offense leaning entirely on the defense to bail it out leaves the run game and the O-line as unresolved problems heading into Week 2.
