Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets, result, summary, statistics and highlights: Kenny Pickett could not avoid another fall of Mike Tomlin’s

Unless the course of the season takes a sudden change from now on, that milestone of Mike Tomlin of never having had one losing campaign it will most likely come to an end. The Steelers they had already looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL in the first three weeks and the story was not very different this Sunday, when they fell at home to the weak Jets 24-20.

The story of the followingnoon undoubtedly passed through the quarterback change implemented by Tomlin at halftime. Mitchell Trubisky He had another very poor start (7 of 13 for 84 yards and 1 interception) and his place was taken by rookie Kenny Pickettwhich made it comply with the outcry from local fans.

Pickett entered with his team down 10-6 and initially left a good feeling, even adding a pair of rushing touchdowns in short-yardage situationsIn addition to showing some interesting connections with fellow rookie George Pickens (6 receptions for 102 yards).

The Steelers took a 20-10 lead, but what seemed like an ideal start for Pickett began to turn into a nightmare. The quarterback first year would end up suffering three interceptions in the second half and the Jets ended up turning the score around, with scores from Corey Davis and a Breece Hall winning carry missing 16 seconds.

An asterisk in favor of Pickett, who also added a loose ballis that none of the three interceptions was a gross error: The first two came off deflections on catchable passes to receivers, while the third was a hail mary from midfield, with no time on the clock. Still, it wasn’t the best outcome for his first test in charge of Pittsburgh.
