Coming out of the 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17, the focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers — at least from the talk show perspective — wasn’t on the fact that the Steelers were alive in the AFC playoff picture and are looking like a potentially formidable team due to the offensive improvements.
Instead, the talk was centered on rumors/reports that second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett reportedly refused to suit up as the backup in Seattle, which led to him being inactive as the No. 3 against the Seahawks.
Turns out, those rumors/reports were categorically false and really pissed off Pickett, who vehemently denied the rumors Tuesday during his session with the media, stating that the report was attacking his character, which it was.
