Kenny Pickett’s FIRST NFL touchdown pass vs Seahawks | #PITvsJAX • 8/20 • 7 pm • KDKA
Kenny Pickett throws his first NFL touchdown pass to Jaylen Warren in the Steelers 32-25 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the 2022 Preseason.
Pickett came on for the Steelers' first possession of the third quarter and directed a seven-play, 75-yard drive for a touchdown in 3:53. Pickett's 3-yard touchdown pass to Warren and two-point conversion pass to rookie tight end Connor Heyward re-established the lead for the Steelers at 25-17.
Pickett was 5-for-5 for 33 yards on the drive.
Many among those who remained from the announced crowd of 48,197 greeted the Steelers' No. 1 pick by chanting Pickett's name throughout the march.
In his first NFL game, in the city and stadium where he played his college football, in front of over 48,197 paying customers who were chanting his name, Kenny Pickett delivered.
Pickett completed 13-for-15 for 95 yards, with two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a rating of 132.6 in playing the whole second half, but more significant was him going 2-for-2 for 26 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Vaughns with three seconds left to give the Steelers a 32-25 victory over Seattle at Acrisure Stadium in the preseason opener for both teams.
