Steelers' Dwayne Haskins: Tops 100 yards in preseason start
Dwayne Haskins completed nine of 16 passes for 108 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also rushing three times for six yards in Friday's 34-9 preseason loss to the Panthers.Haskins drew the start Friday since Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph were held out of the game, and he played the entire first half. The 24-year-old also saw additional playing time late in the contest after Joshua Dobbs suffered a toe injury. However, he failed to generate much offensive production while playing 62 percent of the snaps. Following the game, coach Mike Tomlin said, "It wasn't the performance he wanted or we wanted." Rudolph appears to have secured the job as the Pittsburgh Steelers' No. 2 quarterback, while Haskins may be on the roster bubble ahead of the team's Week 1 matchup against Buffalo following inconsistent play during the preseason.

The 2019 first-rounder was less productive than Mason Rudolph, who was on the field for 50 percent of the team's snaps and completed 13 of 18 passes for 138 yards.

Steelers' Dwayne Haskins: Leads three TD drives
Dwayne Haskins completed 16 of 22 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushing attempts for minus-5 yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.Haskins threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Johnson in the third quarter and also orchestrated a pair of drives culminating with one-yard touchdown runs, which were scored by Anthony McFarland and Jaylen Samuels. The offense looked much more dynamic with Haskins and Pittsburgh's backups against the Eagles' backup defenders than it did with Mason Rudolph and the starters against Philadelphia's starting defense. Haskins has likely made up some ground on Rudolph in the competition for the backup quarterback job, and Haskins -- a 2019 first-round pick -- will likely see some action with the starters in next week's preseason tilt against Detroit, especially if the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to hold Ben Roethlisberger out.
