A year ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers were looking for any quarterback capable of throwing a touchdown pass. Combined, Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph threw 13 of them, tied for the second-fewest of any team in football. A year later and all the Steelers’ ex-quarterbacks could do was throw touchdowns. Just for their new teams.
During Sunday’s slate of games, Pickett threw a score for the Philadelphia Eagles, Trubisky for the Buffalo Bills, and Rudolph for the Tennessee Titans.
Pickett earned his first start of the season, replacing the concussed Jalen Hurts. Pickett’s score found WR DeVonta Smith for 22-yards mid-way through the second quarter.
