Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett attempted 13 passes in his NFL debut on Sunday, completing all of them, although three were caught by the defense. Within the 10 completed passes to his teammates, however, there were a few standout moments, highlighted by a bullet pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth on 3rd and long at the 20-yard line to set up a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Facing a 3rd and 8, Pickett felt the pressure from the New York Jets’ Quinnen Williams, who got a clean shot at the rookie after a breakdown in communication from the offensive line let him go free.
