Kenny Pickett Praises Saints’ Defense, Says He Watched Tyrann Mathieu Highlights Before High School Games

As rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett looks to lead the team to a win coming out of their bye week, he realizes nothing will come easy against the New Orleans Saints, who feature a pretty talented group on the defensive side of the ball, despite their 3-6 record.

Coming off a 27-13 drubbing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens Monday night, the team will be eager to show the 188 yards rushing they gave up to Lamar Jackson and company was a fluke, and with the star power they have, coupled with the run game woes of Pittsburgh, this could be a recipe for disaster if the team doesn’t come to play.
