STEELERS HELPING WITH FOOD DRIVE<\/p>\n
The Steelers\u2019 first regular season game of the year is almost here. The Atlanta Falcons are the opponent, and they\u2019re dealing with some serious issues. That includes being down to their third-string quarterback in Cooper Rush. The Steelers have a real opportunity to kick this season off with a big win at home. However, they\u2019re doing other things to help Pittsburgh, too.<\/p>\n
CBS Pittsburgh posted a video on YouTube<\/a> sharing that the Steelers have teamed up with local Ford dealerships to collect food for those in need. It\u2019s a great cause and a nice way for the team to support its community.<\/p>\n TOMLIN KEPT PITTSBURGH HOUSE<\/p>\n Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers\u2019 head coach this offseason. Now, he\u2019s working as an analyst for NBC. It\u2019s strange not to see Tomlin on the sideline to start this season, but he seems to be enjoying his new role. He even got to recently interview long-time rival John Harbaugh.<\/a><\/p>\n Tomlin still has ties to Pittsburgh, though. During his interview with Harbaugh,<\/a> Tomlin shared that he couldn\u2019t sell his house in Pittsburgh. He\u2019s got a lot of memories tied to that place, and his daughter didn\u2019t want him to get rid of it. While Tomlin isn\u2019t coaching in Pittsburgh this year, he\u2019s still got roots there.<\/p>\n BOSWELL HAS BABY<\/p>\n Chris Boswell has been one of the Steelers\u2019 best players for years. He\u2019s been with the team for over a decade, and he\u2019s arguably the best kicker in their history. While the team underwent many changes this offseason, Boswell is a source of consistency.<\/p>\n Boswell has some exciting news before the season begins, too. The Steelers shared on Twitter<\/a> that Boswell and his wife recently welcomed a new baby into their family. It\u2019s great timing for them. Boswell might\u2019ve been sweating a little bit with his wife due and the first game of the year so close. However, he doesn\u2019t have to worry about missing something so important. Congratulations to their family.<\/p>\n
