(AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers won't see much of the Panthers players who created something of a stir by beating the Washington Redskins 47-3 on Saturday. It was an unusually one-sided score for an exhibition game. The Panthers and Steelers close out their preseasons Thursday night at Heinz Field.
With teams playing 70-plus players in exhibition games, one team normally doesn't have such an appreciable edge in talent that it can dominate a game from the first quarter to the fourth the way the Panthers did.
Still, in their last two games, the Panthers' starters have outscored their opponents 58-3. The Steelers certainly noticed that.
