Steelers vs. Giants live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Monday Night Football’ game

The Steelers opted not to sign or draft a replacement for Ben Roethlisberger this past offseason, banking on their 38-year-old quarterback to be healthy and effective over the next couple of years.

After an injury-riddled 2019, though, Roethlisberger appears a risky investment.

Pittsburgh hopes a matchup with the bottom-dwelling Giants on Monday night gives Roethlisberger an opportunity to ease his way into the regular season. Because there wasn’t preseason action before this campaign, the veteran hasn’t faced a live defense since Sept. 15 of last year.

New York, meanwhile, is playing its first game under coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. The development of second-year quarterback Daniel Jones is in their hands, and it will be interesting to watch whether Jones is capable of making a leap in production in his sophomore campaign.

Halftime: Steelers 16, Giants 10

8:35 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN, Steelers. Roethlisberger to James Washington just before halftime. That was quite an effort from Washington to reach the end zone. 16-10, Pittsburgh.
