Kenny Pickett Ranks Bottom Third Of The League In Failed Completion Percentage

The Pittsburgh Steelers passing offense in 2022 was rather limited, with a lot of quick passes and dump-offs. As a result, quarterback Kenny Pickett ranked 24th out of 33 qualified passers in “failed completion” percentage, with 28.6% of his completions qualifying as failed, according to Football Outsiders data.

Per Football Outsiders, “A failed completion is any completed pass that fails to gain 45% of needed yards on first down, 60% on second down, or 100% on third or fourth down.” Of Pickett’s 245 completions, 70 qualified as failed. Only two quarterbacks who led their team to the playoffs ranked lower than Pickett, with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert coming in at No.
