From the start of his NFL career running onto the field at Acrisure Stadium to open the second half against the Seattle Seahawks under a wave of “Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!” chants, to the storybook ending on a game-winning touchdown pass to Tyler Vaughns with three seconds remaining, Saturday’s NFL debut was a special one for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.
On the night, playing the entire second half of the 32-25 win, Pickett finished 13-for-15 for 95 yards and two scores, added two carries for 16 yards in the win. At one point, Pickett completed 10 straight passes and really looked poised on the field overall, making the right reads, getting the ball out quickly and showing just how confident he was overall within Acrisure Stadium — a place he played many times before with the Pittsburgh Panthers.
