The Pittsburgh Steelers made a long-awaited change at quarterback Sunday, replacing Mitch Trubisky with rookie Kenny Pickett in the second half against the New York Jets.
Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, the Jets managed to steal a 24-20 road win with a late touchdown, but Pickett's gutsy effort in his first NFL action should not be overshadowed.
The 24-year-old looked comfortable and injected some energy into the Steelers offense in the second half. Pickett scored on two rushing touchdowns to give Pittsburgh a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. However, he had some trouble in the passing game as he threw three interceptions.
