What happened: Pittsburgh covered 78 yards on its first possession and turned the long series into the game's first touchdown.

Why it matters: A 9:48 opening drive immediately shifted the clock and field-position battle. With the game still in progress at 7-0, one possession has already taken on added weight.

What to watch: Watch whether Pittsburgh can keep dictating tempo on its next series or whether the game swings back after the long opening march.
