‘Chess, Not Checkers’ For Pickett Facing Eagles, Tomlin Says

Kenny Pickett is coming off a rough outing last Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins. The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 first round selection threw three interceptions and only one touchdown, with two of the picks coming at the end of the game as he was trying to lead the Steelers on a game winning drive.

Pickett will try to bounce back this week against a Philadelphia Eagles team with two top tier cornerbacks. Darius Slay and James Bradberry both bring big play ability and veteran leadership which makes them hard to beat. Both Slay and Bradberry have more passes defended against (7 and 9) than any Pittsburgh Steeler.
