Kenny Pickett is officially the most popular man in Pittsburgh.
On the next, Pittsburgh was moving the ball pretty well and got to the New England 13 when the third-down streak ended with Trubisky sacked for a 5-yard loss. The Steelers settled for the field goal.
In two games thus far, Trubisky and the Steelers offense have scored just two touchdowns, and only advanced to the red zone four times. Last week, the defense forced five turnovers in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals — and the offense"We didn't move the ball well enough on offense," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said after Sunday's game."Not enough 'splash [plays]', especially in the waning moments.
It wasn't all Trubisky, of course. Former Patriot Gunner Olszewski muffed a third-quarter punt and New England recovered at the Pittsburgh 10, scoring three plays later for a 17-6 lead. The Steelers' defensive front, playing without an injured T.J. Watt, wasn't able to take advantage of a subpar New England offensive line, failing to sack Mac Jones and being credited with just three quarterback hits.
But Week 4? That's a different story. The Steelers host the Jets on October 2, and by then the calls for Pickett may be deafening.
