QB Coach Mike Sullivan More Impressed By Play Kenny Pickett Made Before Long Touchdown Pass

Sure, QB Kenny Pickett’s 41-yard touchdown pass to WR George Pickens gets all the attention and highlights. As all good game-winning touchdowns should. But the theme of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday was the play before the play. Whether it was Kwon Alexander’s open-field tackling that led to Miles Killebrew’s punt block or Joey Porter Jr.’s pick or in this case, Pickett hitting WR Allen Robinson II on a 3rd and 9 to move the sticks and set up the score, those are plays that are easy to forget but crucial to victory.
