Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has received a fair amount of criticism following Pittsburgh’s 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.
And rightfully so. Pickett looked like a shell of his former self, nothing like the player who got everyone excited during the preseason. He looked scattershot in the pocket, missing open receivers on easy throws while pressing too hard at times to make a play. His struggles resulted in two interceptions that ended potential scoring drives for Pittsburgh to cut into San Francisco’s lead.
Pickett was critical of his performance this past weekend, saying that the mistakes by him as well as the rest of the offense can’t linger as Pittsburgh tries to get back on track in a hurry.
