Overview

• Multiple reports and broadcast footage showed workers re-sodding the Acrisure Stadium surface immediately after Pittsburgh’s 23-9 victory over Cleveland.
• Aaron Rodgers said the field became “borderline unplayable” by the third quarter, comparing the torn-up grass to early-winter conditions he once saw in Green Bay.
• Steelers kicker Chris Boswell slipped when his plant foot dug into a divot on a 54-yard attempt, missed the kick, and avoided injury.
• Special-teams captain Miles Killebrew suffered a non-contact right knee injury that Mike Tomlin described as significant, with his status still developing.
• The stadium’s shared use with Pitt was cited as a factor in the wear, and analysts warn the freshly laid sod could be stressed with Pitt hosting Oct. 25 before the Steelers play Oct. 26.
