Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has made his debut for his fourth NFL team, appearing for the Las Vegas Raiders for the first time all season. Like Justin Fields in New York, Raiders start Geno Smith was pulled in a blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Pickett, the top backup all season, subbed in.
He entered the game trailing 31-0 mid-way through the fourth quarter.
Pickett makes his debut after questions and calls for Smith to be benched have hovered for weeks. Smith has struggled with taking care of the ball and been prone to a string of mistakes.
