Steelers and Kenny Pickett exorcise some offensive demons while eking out win over Titans

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team whose fanbase is in open revolt against their offensive coordinator, with seriously questionable play from their former first-round quarterback. They are also 5-3, and wins like Thursday's are the reason why.

With a just-good-enough offensive performance, the Steelers defeated the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on "Thursday Night Football," an experience that still saw repeated booing from the Heinz Field crowd.

There were plenty of regrettable throws by Pickett, who finished 19-of-30 for 160 yards and a touchdown. At one point, a Steelers coached batted down a pass thrown out of bounds in apparent frustration.
