In the first game of the post-Matt Canada era in Pittsburgh, second-year Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett put together arguably his best performance of his career.
That might not be much of a coincidence.
Against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 12, Pickett completed 24-of-33 passes for 278 yards, completing a handful of explosive plays in the process. He took advantage of the middle of the field with tight end Pat Freiermuth and hit some downfield shots to Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, leading to a balanced, consistent offensive attack in the 16-10 win.
