For Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, Monday night’s performance against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football in front of a national audience was the best of his young career in the NFL.
Pickett was on time, accurate and smart with the football, learned quickly within the game and used his legs to buy time and pick up yardage in the Steelers’ 24-17 win.
The performance led to an 88.5 grade from Pro Football Focus for the week, making him the second-highest graded QB in Week 12 in the NFL.
It could have been even better, if not for a few frustrating drops by his wide receivers in the win.
