Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett’s final numbers ahead of the bye week are, shall we say, uninspiring. Although he has the longest pass play in the NFL so far at 72 yards, that’s his only notable statistic. He ranks 20th in passing yards (1,027) and 26th in yards per attempt (6.5). He has just five touchdowns and his four interceptions are tied for 11th. His passer rating of 78.8 also ranks 27th.
He needs a vacation, according to KDKA analyst and former Steeler Chris Hoke, to clear his head before the start of the long stretch of 12 games without a break on the other side of the bye week.
