Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has had a rough first two games to the 2023 season, but has a chance now to bounce back on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders.

“You’ll find some quarterbacks and some teams who love the challenge, love there hostile environment component,” said Tomlin to Bob Pompeani on The Mike Tomlin Show, posted to the Steelers YouTube Channel. “I always felt that with him a year ago, particularly in the latter part of the season, I don’t think that he’s a guy who shrinks in competitive and challenging environments, I think he rises up in the face of it.
