Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-20 loss against the New York Jets Sunday afternoon.
WINNERS
Kenny Pickett – This one feels a little mixed. Pickett came in for Mitch Trubisky in the second half and provided a massive spark for the Steelers’ offense both in terms of atmosphere and crowd noise. After throwing an INT on his first career pass, Pickett got the ball back off a Minkah Fitzpatrick INT and snuck the ball in for his first touchdown. He led another TD drive the next possession highlighted by a wicked strike to Pat Freiermuth on third down that led to Pickett keeping it himself on a boot to the right.
