Kenny Pickett Called Steelers' 'Future' as Twitter Hypes QB After Winning TD in Debut

It took a while for Kenny Pickett to get the call for his first career NFL game, but the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie made a strong first impression in a 32-25 win against the Seattle Seahawks.

Pickett threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Tyler Vaughns with three seconds remaining to cap off a five-play, 43-yard drive. Tuzar Skipper recovered a fumble to give the offense the ball after Mark Robinson strip-sacked Drew Lock.
