J.J. Watt: ‘It Does Have To Be A Little Tough’ For Kenny Pickett In Fascinating QB Situation For Steelers

In recent days, the quarterback situation regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers has dominated the conversation for the Black and Gold heading into the season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.

As is well-known at this point, the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin turned to Mason Rudolph for good at the position this season despite second-year quarterback and perceived franchise quarterback Kenny Pickett being healthy entering Week 18.

Typically, Tomlin likes to say that a player cannot lose his job due to injury, but he’s adjusted that thinking at the most important position in sports due to Rudolph’s impressive play in the last two weeks, leading the Steelers to 30 or more points in both games, getting the Steelers to 9-7 and on the cusp of the playoffs.
