Kenny Pickett’s game-winning drive, as well as his opening-drive touchdown, will be what is remembered from his NFL debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night inside of Acrisure Stadium. It certainly was an electric atmosphere, even for a regular season game, despite still being in August.
But perhaps of equal significance to the big scoring plays were the footnotes in between, the plays that Pickett made, or put himself in a position to make, by using his athletic ability to move around the field, whether he was scrambling to escape pressure and make a throw or to convert a third down with his legs.
