Florio: Fast-Rising Kenny Pickett ‘Handed Down By The Football Gods’ To Pittsburgh

Related Topics: Michael Florio, Kenny Pickett

When someone mentions divine intervention and your franchise quarterback in the same sentence, it definitely can come off as a real hot take.

That’s what Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk did in his recent episode on NFL on NBC, speaking with Myles Simmons about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. Pittsburgh looked dominant yet again for the third time this preseason, scoring two touchdowns on its first two offensive drives with the first team in the game. QB Kenny Pickett particularly looked impressive in his brief time in the game, causing Florio to dive into Greek mythology to describe the situation the Steelers find themselves in after transitioning from future Hall of Fame QB Ben Roethlisberger to Kenny Pickett.
