The Kenny Pickett era in Pittsburgh officially began today with the rookie quarterback making his first career start, and it was certainly one to forget. Heading up to Buffalo, he and Mike Tomlin’s team took a thrashing from the AFC favorites to the tune of 38-3, the worst loss in decades for the franchise.
While Pickett overall played a decent game, certainly with some notable highs, he was not without his flaws. His reaction to a defender hitting him low after a throw at the end of the game, however, probably wasn’t one of them.
After tossing away a pass under pressure on 4th and 14 with about a minute to play, Bills defender Shaq Lawson continued to go low on the quarterback, bringing him down at the knee.
