Pickett takes over offense to begin second half vs. Jets

Kenny Pickett has taken the reins of the Steelers' offense.

With the Steelers trailing 10-6 after one half of play, Mike Tomlin made the switch at quarterback for the first drive of the second half.

In the first half, Trubisky completed 7 of 13 for 84 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. He did take a hard shot on what was called roughing the passer just before Chris Boswell made a 59-yard field goal to end the first half. However, Trubisky was standing on the sideline with his helmet on when Pickett took the field.
