Daniels stands up for Pickett on Hamlin hit: 'He's our franchise QB'

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Even though the Bills laid a 38-3 smackdown on the Steelers Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium, it didn't stop the Buffalo defense from keeping their foot on the gas with a four-touchdown lead.

Trailing 31-3 late in the third quarter, the Steelers were still trying to salvage as much dignity as possible during what turned out to be the worst loss of the Mike Tomlin era. In their second drive of the second half, Kenny Pickett led the offense down the field and had them knocking on the door of the red zone.
