All anyone has wanted to see from Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett to this point in his first season in the NFL is a show of growth and flashes of franchise-caliber QB abilities.
Those boxes can be checked after Pickett’s great performance on Monday Night Football in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts.
While Pickett’s stats line — 20-for-28 passing, 174 yards and six carries for 32 yards — wasn’t eye-popping by any stretch of the imagination, Pickett’s growth showed in the game with his decision making snap-to-snap, some accuracy showing up in a major way down the stretch, and overall command of the offense in his seventh career start and eighth career game in the NFL.
