Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett calls out low hit after loss, 'felt like he went after my knee'

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Searching for somewhere to throw the ball late in the fourth quarter of a 38-3 loss, Kenny Pickett scrambled toward the sideline at Highmark Stadium with Buffalo Bills defender Shaq Lawson hot in pursuit.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback got rid of the ball, Lawson dove low, tackling Pickett below his waist to bring him to the ground. Pickett took exception to the hit and shoved the defensive end as he picked himself up off the turf.

Pickett didn't stop there, and he briefly continued to go after Lawson until left tackle Chukwuma Okorafor and the rest of the Steelers offensive linemen stepped in to break up the scuffle.
