Rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett is the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, unseating Mitchell Trubisky atop the depth chart entering Week 5.
Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the move Tuesday on the heels of turning to Pickett in the second half of last week's loss to the New York Jets.
The Steelers face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and are in their first season since 2004 without Ben Roethlisberger entrenched at quarterback.
"He's a gamer. That's why they drafted him in the first round," Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth said of Pickett.
Pickett rushed for two touchdowns and threw three interceptions in place of Trubisky on the same field where he starred for Pitt, but the Steelers lost 24-20 to the Jets.
