PITTSBURGH (AP) — It’s Kenny Pickett time for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pickett, taken 20th overall by the Steelers as the heir apparent to the retired Ben Roethlisberger, received a massive ovation from the Acrisure Stadium crowd. Pickett starred in the same stadium while playing for the University of Pittsburgh. Pickett entered with the Steelers trailing 10-6.
