The discussion regarding Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett starts and ends with one thing and one thing only right now: he wins.
In his first 22 games (21 starts) Pickett is 13-8 for the Steelers, including 6-3 this season. That’s a .619 winning percentage through his first season and a half as a starter for the Black and Gold.
For many, that’s good enough as winning is the all-important thing in professional sports. But contextualizing those wins and how the Steelers are winning is important. Granted, he is playing exceptionally well in the fourth quarter of games in his career, leading the Steelers to six fourth-quarter comebacks and seven game-winning drives in the NFL.
