While he may not have thrown for any touchdowns in Pittsburgh’s 16-10 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, there’s a strong argument that yesterday’s game was QB Kenny Pickett’s best this season, the second-year man completing 24-of-33 pass attempts for 278 yards.
Speaking on the KDKA Nightly Sports Call show, former Steelers DL Chris Hoke mentioned that Pickett played the best game of his career against the Bengals on Sunday, complimenting the young quarterback on his deep ball and for trusting his offensive line to stick in the pocket.
“If he steps up into the pocket, that’s when he can drive the ball in the middle,” Hoke said about Pickett on the KDKA Nightly Sports Call show.
