Kenny Pickett, Steelers Offense Excites Fans in Preseason Game vs. Falcons

If there was an award for MVP of the NFL preseason, the 2023 title might go to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Pickett finished out a commanding preseason by going 4-for-4 for 86 yards on two touchdown drives for the Steelers during Thursday's preseason action against the Atlanta Falcons.

Pickett was put into the starting lineup in Week 4 of the 2022 season. He finished with 245 completions for 2,404 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie campaign.

His throws on Thursday, combined with catches by Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, gave Steelers fans hope Pickett and the rest of the team's offense is ready to take the next step this fall.

The next time Pickett takes a snap for the Steelers will be during the regular season. Fans of the black and gold will hope Pickett is able to replicate his preseason dominance when Pittsburgh returns to action September 10 for a Week 1 contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
