CHARLOTTE -- For the first time since he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March, Mitch Trubisky began an NFL game as a starting quarterback and ended it in victory formation.
With rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett still in the concussion protocol, Trubisky started his fifth game of the season Sunday at Bank of America Stadium and earned his first regulation win as a Steeler by outpacing the Carolina Panthers 24-16.
"Only thing I cared about today was winning, staying on the field, converting those third downs and helping this team win," Trubisky said.
