It was Alumni Weekend, a time when players from the Steelers’ past are brought back to town for a celebration that includes a lavish dinner and speeches in a sold out banquet hall on Saturday night, and then a halftime ceremony during the following day’s game where all attendees are introduced to the crowd.
On this Alumni Weekend, the Steelers not only honored a group of players from their past, but the current team played the style – especially on offense – those former players knew very well.
The Steelers capped their 2023 Alumni Weekend with a 23-19 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 12 at Acrisure Stadium, and of all the reasons why that outcome was achieved none was more significant than the 205 yards rushing on 36 attempts (5.7 average) and two touchdowns the offense produced.
Leading the parade vs. the Packers was Jaylen Warren, the second-year pro whoNov. 13, 2022, vs. New Orleans when they had 217 on 43 attempts (5.7 average) and two touchdowns in a 20-10 victory over the Saints.
