Make no mistake about it: the offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers was relatively poor once again on Sunday at Highmark Stadium against the Buffalo Bills in a 38-3 loss.
Pittsburgh couldn’t run the ball, couldn’t catch the ball consistently, and most importantly, couldn’t finish drives, resulting in just three points on the afternoon.
However, rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, making his first career start for the black and gold, had a relatively strong performance overall, throwing for 327 yards — many of them in garbage time – on 34-of-52 completions, adding one interception. The numbers look decent overall, and had head coach Mike Tomlin a bit pleased with his rookie’s performance on a big stage in a hostile environment.
