On the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opening drive of their 24-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason finale, QB Kenny Pickett hit both WR Diontae Johnson and WR George Pickens for explosive-play receptions. On a third down early in the drive, Pickett went down the left sideline for a 33-yard completion to Johnson. Later in the drive he hit Pickens for a 35-yard gain down to the 1-yard line to set up a Najee Harris rushing touchdown. In his postgame press conference, Pickett said he’s always going to try to exploit defenses when Johnson and Pickens are in single coverage.
