It took 16 games, but Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett recorded his first multi-touchdown game Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Pickett finished the game completing 16-of-28 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with WR Calvin Austin III for a 72-yard bomb down the middle of the field, resulting in Pittsburgh second-consecutive game with a 70+ yard touchdown pass. He also connected with TE Pat Freiermuth on a 13-yard touchdown in the red zone, having Pittsburgh take a 23-7 lead.

After getting his first regular season action coming off the bench at halftime last season in Week Four against the New York Jets, Pickett went the entire 2022 season without throwing multiple touchdown passes in a single game.
