Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year quarterback, Kenny Pickett, began the season with two underwhelming performances. However, he showcased an impressive performance that led the Steelers to a 23-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football.

In this game, Pickett completed 16 of 28 passes for 235 yards and threw two touchdowns. It marked the first time in his career that he had thrown multiple touchdowns in a single game.

Pickett’s performance on Sunday night was a significant step in the right direction for him. Prior to this game, the 25-year-old quarterback had struggled, with a total of three interceptions in his first two games of the season. This victory and his improved play were much-needed for both Pickett and the Steelers.
