QB Kenny Pickett and the first-team offense haven’t missed a beat yet this preseason, scoring three touchdowns on three offensive drives. They’ve only have 17 plays from scrimmage as unit, but the starters have looked sharp, showing chemistry in the passing game as well as the ability to generate splash at a much better rate than they did last season.
One of those splash plays was the 25-yard TD pass from Pickett to TE Pat Freiermuth last Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. Bryant McFadden and CB Patrick Peterson talked about the play on the most recent edition of the All Things Covered podcast with McFadden calling Pickett’s touchdown toss a “big-league throw” in tight coverage.
