In his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kenny Pickett is going to the Super Bowl. Only their accomplished feat has zero to do with the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback.
Pickett, 26, had two rushing attempts for negative three yards in Philly’s 55-23 trouncing of the Washington Commanders.
Pittsburgh media personality Mark Madden blasted Pickett and fans who had anything to say about the quarterback accomplishing something in the NFC title game.
“Acting like Kenny Pickett accomplished anything yesterday is as cringe as it f***ing gets,” Madden posted on X (formerly Twitter).
While some fans are on the side that Pickett is in the Super Bowl and the Steelers are not, most agree all he accomplished was “riding pine” (a.k.a. sitting on the bench).
Pickett appeared in five games in the 2024-25 season, throwing for 291 yards, two scores and an interception.
Seven other former Steelers seek to earn their first (or second) ring in Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 9.
Acting like Kenny Pickett accomplished anything yesterday is as cringe as it ***king gets.
