Kenny Pickett replaces Mitch Trubisky at QB for Steelers

It took three weeks and some change for the Pittsburgh Steelers to end the Mitch Trubisky era at quarterback.

Early in the third quarter, Trubisky was replaced by rookie first-round pick Kenny Pickett, much to the joy of the home crowd.

On his first drive, Pickett converted a 4th-and-inches with a quarterback sneak, but not long after, his first career pass was a deep ball that got picked off by New York Jets safety Jordan Whitehead.

The interception is disappointing, but the Steelers are still better off rolling with the rookie going forward.
