Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football. Here’s what we learned.
Garoppolo completed 28-for-44 passes for 324 yards, two touchdowns and three picks, including one on the potential game-winning drive. A severe lack of composure under pressure cost Garoppolo and the Raiders, which leads to the next takeaway.The Steelers had no issues pressuring Garoppolo on the night. Pittsburgh sacked the Raiders quarterback four times and logged eight QB hits, and, as usual, T.J. Watt was behind it all.
Jakobi Meyers added 85 receiving yards on seven catches to give Garoppolo another outlet while Hunter Renfrow was kept quiet.Pickett has had his fair share of struggles under center thus far, but he hasn't been aided with a quality running game to ease the pressure off him. Pittsburgh came into the Week 3 matchup averaging a feeble 3.1 rush yards per attempt . That boosted on Sunday with the unit collecting 105 yards on 31 attempts, with Najee Harris rushing for 65 yards on 19 carries.
The average came out to 3.4 which isn't exactly a significant boost, but given the context of the game, it was a needed showing.Pickett had a mistake-filled rookie year that seemed to fade away this preseason before returning again in the first two weeks. And though he wasn't perfect on Sunday, it might be a performance that gives him some momentum going forward.
Again, there's a long way for Pickett to go, but young quarterbacks need some games to go their way like this to pick up steam. Now it's up to Pickett to continue improving.
