At least going into today’s pre-game press conference with head coach Mike Tomlin, we still don’t know definitively who will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Buffalo Bills—even if it would be shocking if it were not Kenny Pickett.
The team’s first-round draft pick, Pickett was named the Steelers’ backup to Mitch Trubisky to start the regular season, and he sat on the bench for the first three and a half games before Tomlin pulled the trigger at halftime on Sunday, saying after the game that he felt the team “needed a spark”, but also would not commit at the time to a permanent change.
