What were the keys to the team’s victory this week?
Before the game we knew that the key to victory was running the ball efficiently, limiting our exposure in the passing game, and applying pressure to the Rookie quarterback on defense. From the stats it's clear to see our gameplan was a success. 4 sacks on the Pittsburgh QB, one resulting in a fumble in the end zone which our defense recovered for a Touchdown. Over 150 combined rushing, with our Qb Kyler Murray going 17/17 passing in his debut gave us exactly what we needed to come away with the week 1 win.
What is the status of Tyler Warren and when is he set to return?
Tyler Warren is our Rookie TE which we acquired with our 3rd round pick. He got hurt in the preseason and was scheduled to be put for 4 weeks. Our medical staff and trainers have been working with him in rehab to get him game ready as soon as possible. Right now he's looking g to possibly debut week 5 and we're very excited about that as a staff.
Can you describe how important it was to get a win at home this week?
Starting off the season with a win is always necessary when a team has the type of expectations that we have. Last year we made the playoffs and finished tied for 2nd in the division but that isn't enough for us. We have greater Ambitions and larger goals as a team and beginning the season with a win is a big step towards realizing those goals.
