Kovacevic: It's inevitable Pickett will supplant Trubisky ... ideally soon

The correct answer was the third quarter of the second game.

Or, for anyone who prefers to be exceptionally precise, it was at 2:56 p.m. on this sunsplashed Sunday at Acrisure Stadium that Mitch Trubisky was booed off the field by the 67,307 faithful on hand, followed almost immediately by a chant of 'KEN-NY! KEN-NY' from the upper deck off to my right.

They were late.

That scene, the one I'd pretty much painted hours before the Steelers' 17-14 loss to the Patriots in the franchise's 90th home opener, was as predictable as a Trubisky pass after he locks onto each intended target from the break of the huddle.
