I don't think it's about trying to prove any point. The Steelers have essentially the exact same team together this year that won the AFC last year. No need to leave starters in the game very long, especially in preseason game 1.

For the Skins, we have so many new, young faces, we need to leave guys out there to see what they've got. The Steelers don't need that sort of live game action evaluation like we do.
