Last weekend's Steelers-Broncos game wasn't much of a barnburner.

Pittsburgh squeaked out a 13-6 win over Denver, who has rookie Bo Nix at quarterback after selecting him with the 12th pick.

Nix beat out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for the starting job - not exactly the toughest of battles. However, the Steelers may just be thinking that Nix could be the lesser of all evils.

Podcast host James Palmer said on former receiver Steve Smith Sr.'s podcast that Steelers defensive players knew exactly what was coming from the opposition.

"I was just in the Steelers locker room going against a rookie in Bo Nix in his second NFL start. [After the game], I’m talking to the Steelers corners, and they’re sitting there laughing in the corner going, ‘We knew the playbook was this big [gestures small fingers]," Palmer said.

"‘We know they weren’t going to take any shots, and we know what he likes to do. They’re going to make it easy on him to go here and here, and that’s all we had to worry about.'"

NICK SABAN BLAMES PANTHERS FOR BRYCE YOUNG'S STRUGGLES: 'DID NOT' HAVE TALENT AROUND HIM

Nix completed 20 of his 36 passes for 246 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. In Week 1 in Seattle, he went 26-for-42 for 138 yards, no scores, and another pair of picks.

Nix was the sixth and final quarterback taken in the first round this past April, behind Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix, and J.J. McCarthy.

The 24-year-old suited up for Auburn and Oregon over five years in college. He finished in third in last season's Heisman voting after completing 77.4% of his passes for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns, and just three picks. All of those numbers were career-bests (his previous career-high in touchdowns was 29). 

His yards and touchdowns were also the most in the FBS last year. However, it seems to be a struggle so far in the big leagues.

Nix is under center after Denver cut ties with Russell Wilson after two seasons. Week 2 was set to be Wilson's first game against his former team, but he suffered a calf injury prior to Week 1, and Justin Fields has been starting in his absence.

"Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet confessed that Hollywood life isn’t all it’s cut out to be. 

After working on the popular sitcom for 11 seasons, Stonestreet left Los Angeles to head back to his home in Kansas City. 

The actor reflected on how different people are in the Midwest compared to Hollywood.

"What I realized it does is it highlights everything great about our business, the entertainment business," Stonestreet shared on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger."

"And it highlights all the douchebaggery of our business. It amplifies it. Because I’m here, I’m dealing with people from here… I’m going into the store and having all these authentic, real moments."

He continued, "Then I go to Hollywood… and you’re reminded of some of the types of people that you deal with."

While the Kansas City native moved to Los Angeles to jump start his acting career, he added there were some perks to living in Hollywood.

"But then you’re also offered fruit on a big board," he emphasized. "‘Would you like some lychee and kiwi, sir?’ It’s like, oh, yeah, this is what’s great about Hollywood … So, it’s really fun. It just amplifies it. It’s like, leaving [Kansas City] and going back and doing something is almost more fun than it was living there, doing it."

Stonestreet portrayed Cameron Tucker on "Modern Family" from 2009 until 2020, when the American sitcom aired.

He starred alongside co-stars Ed O'Neill, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Ty Burrell and more.

When asked if he thinks the ship "sailed in terms of a ‘Modern Family’ spin-off," Stonestreet replied, "I don’t think it’s potential anymore."

 "Well, they had their chance. Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri, and they said, ‘No.’ They just said, ‘We don’t want to do it.’"

The "Santa Clauses" star went on to explain his sentiments towards the spin-off rejection.

"I think it hurt Jesse and I’s feelings," the actor admitted. "I think it hurt Chris Lloyd’s feelings."

Stonestreet won two Emmy Awards for his performance in "Modern Family."
