Kenny Pickett’s late-game heroics leads Steelers to win over Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett kicked off his career on Saturday night in preseason against the Seattle Seahawks. And you couldn’t have scripted a better ending for the first-round pick to kick off his legendary status with the team.

The Steelers beat the Seahawks 32-25 on a walk-off touchdown pass from Pickett to wide receiver Tyler Snead. But in fairness, all three Steelers quarterbacks were effective in putting points on the board. Pickett played the entire second half and finished with 95 yards on 13-of-15 passing and two passing touchdowns. Pickett also ran the football three times for 16 yards.

Next up the Steelers will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars and we expect to see a shift in the quarterback rotation to get Pickett some reps against better defenses and with better skill players.
