The Pittsburgh Steelers offense put up 30 points yesterday. They got into the end zone three times and they scored six times overall on 13 possessions. They only turned the ball over once, and that was on downs, showing better ball security than in the first half of the season.
Those are all good signs for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, yet it resulted in just another loss for the first-round pick. For his own part, he completed 25 of 42 pass attempts for 265 yards with one touchdown pass and a quarterback rating of 85.9. He should have had a late 49-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens, but the receiver dropped the ball (they score a touchdown on the drive anyway, on the ground, with 48 of the 49 yards coming through the air).
