It’s only preseason, but when your rookie quarterback throws a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds, it’s still something to celebrate.
That’s what happened to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Saturday night’s preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks, as Kenny Pickett made sure his team wouldn’t need a field goal at the buzzer to break a 25-25 tie.
Pickett found wide receiver Tyler Vaughns near the sideline, and the former USC pass-catcher did the rest, making a defender miss and diving into the end zone for the score.
The No. 20 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Pickett played his college ball for the Pitt Panthers, so he’s used to celebrating big wins in the same stadium.
