Following Another Strong Performance, Kenny Pickett Named Week 2 Preseason Winner By CBS Sports

Two games, two very strong performances in preseason action for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Fresh off of a tremendous showing in his NFL debut against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium that included a game-winning drive in the final minutes, Pickett continued his strong play Saturday night on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, even in limited action.

Taking over for starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky midway through the second quarter, Pickett quarterbacked the Steelers for just two drives, but his final drive in two-minute action was sparkling once again. Pickett completed 4-of-5 passes on the two-minute drive, firing a touchdown to Benny Snell Jr.
