Though Kenny Pickett has only played six quarters of football, it’s still six quarters worth evaluating. As he always does, speaking to reporters Thursday, offensive coordinator Matt Canada was asked to dissect Pickett’s performance.
“I think for a game and a half of football at this level, I think Kenny’s certainly trending in the right direction for us,” he told reporters as transcribed by the team. “Love how hard he plays, love his competitiveness, love his leadership. He’s fighting – he was fighting, obviously, literally – all the way to the end of the game.”
Canada’s comment at the end of course refers to Pickett’s skirmish at the end of the game, dusting up with Bills’ DE Shaq Lawson after a low hit on his final pass of the day.
