It was a tale of two halves for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett in last Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. In the first half, Pickett led the Steelers to a 20-17 lead thanks to his 141 passing yards and a touchdown pass to George Pickens in the first half. In the second half, Pickett failed to throw a touchdown and threw for 124 yards.
Speaking to Bob Pompeani on The Mike Tomlin Show streamed via the Steelers YouTube, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed what went wrong for his rookie quarterback.
“You know [he was] not as sharp and a lot of it has to do with circumstances” Tomlin said.
