San Francisco game coverage

COIN TOSS: Steelers call tails. It’s tails. Steelers defer. The 49ers will receive the opening kickoff.

4:30 p.m. – What Went Right: On the game’s opening possession, the Steelers came up with their first interception of the season when a screen pass to Matt Breida was bobbled and T.J. Watt snatched the ball out of the air. After a 7-yard return, the Steelers started at the 49ers 33-yard line. After a pass to James Conner gained nothing and one to JuJu Smith-Schuster lost 2 yards, a third-down pass to Smith-Schuster gained enough for Chris Boswell to come on and attempt a 46-yard field goal. Boswell’s kick was good, and the Steelers had a 3-0 lead with 11:47 left in the first quarter.
