Steelers QB Mitch Trubisky confident after win: ‘I was ready to go’

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a huge upset over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and it was thanks to an inspired effort by quarterback Mitch Trubisky. After being benched two weeks early, Trubisky came in for an injured Kenny Pickett and orchestrated the winning touchdown drive to give Pittsburgh the 20-18 win.

After the game, Trubisky sounded more confident and assured than he had appeared after any of his four starts earlier in the season. Said he was ready to go and glad to see how the guys rallied when he came in. Trubisky threw for 144 yards and a touchdown to wide receiver Chase Claypool in quick work.

Now we wait and see if Pickett is cleared from his concussion and who will start in Week Seven against the Miami Dolphins.
