‘Close Can Get You A Loss:’ Pickett Knows Offense Must Finish Drives

Related Topics: Kenny Pickett, Matthew Wright

For the fourth straight week after a season-changing bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense continues to look pretty darn solid overall under the direction of rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Strong play continued on Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a 19-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons as the Steelers racked up 351 yards of total offense on 65 plays and possessed the football for 32 minutes and 55 seconds in the win.

The Steelers rushed for 154 yards in the win and threw for 197 yards in a well-balanced offensive attack that earned praise from Pickett post-game.

However, while the Steelers put together some solid drives throughout the game, they consistently stalled in and around the end zone, settling for four field goal attempts on the afternoon.
