For Week 5, the Pittsburgh Steelers truly have an “us versus the world” mentality. Never in history have they been as big an underdog as they are this weekend, the Buffalo Bills 14-point favorites. Just don’t tell that to Kenny Pickett. He’s having none of it.
“You guys and everyone else think we’re underdogs, but we don’t,” Pickett told reporters today via team transcript. “We’re going to go in there with some confidence.”
Pickett will be making his first NFL start after his debut in Week 4 against the New York Jets. It’s a difficult set of circumstances for a first game but as we wrote about earlier, there’s some history on Pittsburgh’s side.
