Pittsburgh Steelers list rookie Kenny Pickett atop quarterback depth chart

PITTSBURGH -- The Kenny Pickett era is officially here.

The Pittsburgh Steelers listed their 2022 first-round pick as the starter on the depth chart -- ahead of Mitch Trubisky -- for Sunday's game at the Buffalo Bills.

"I don't want to dump the responsibility of what transpired at Mitch's feet," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. "That's not fair to him. He's played better than that description, but we haven't. And so in an effort to be better, in an effort to score more points, in an effort to move the ball more fluidly, we decided to go to Kenny in the hope that he would provide a spark for us .
