Do You Know Why Opponents Hate Steelers QB Kenny Pickett On The NFL Pitch For The ‘Last 5 Minutes?’

Kenny Pickett has taken over the NFL world after passing the buck to Diontae Johnson for the win. Pickett is the king of clutch. He could be called “Clutch Kenny” or “Comeback Kenny” after what he did to the Tennessee Titans. He may not be performing well at the start of the game, but he goes crazy as soon as the 4 quarter approaches. Maybe it is something related to coaching.

Anyhow, a tweet from MLFootball highlights some interesting stats about Pittsburgh’s QB1, and they are something to delve deep into. Clutch Kenny would be an apt word to describe Pickett, considering his performance in the last legs of the game, especially in the last quarter. Their opponents should not leave him alone in the last 5 minutes of the game.

Kenny Pickett coming in heavy

A tweet from MLFootball says everything we need to know about Pickett and his 4 quarter-game. He may not be the best QB in the league, but we know when we can rely on him. In the last two seasons, Kenny Pickett has made the most game-winning passes in the last 5 minutes of the game. Even Josh Allen could not compete with the Steelers QB1.

Kenny Pickett has 4 game-winning passes in the last two seasons, compared to Josh Allen’s 3 passes. A study by Clayton Eckert of the Steelers Depot points out that Pickett is one of the best QBs in terms of EPA in the final quarter of the game. During the first three quarters, his performance was below average, but in the fourth quarter, he started to go HAM. He has an EPA of 0.26 in the fourth quarter, which is 3 in the study of 34 QBs.

There are some questions about his performance in the first three quarters, which could be attributed to Matt Canada and his coaching style.

The questions surrounding Matt Canada

It was pointed out recently that Matt Canada’s offense ranks dead last in playcalling at the beginning of the game. Maybe this is where Kenny Pickett’s clutch abilities come from. Or perhaps these are the strategies Tomlin and Canada use to fool their opponents into taking them lightly. They sneak attack in the last few minutes of the game if they are close on the scoreboard.

This Steelers’ mantra may prove deadly for their opponents in the upcoming games as they would have to focus on sacking Pickett as soon as possible before he gets rid of the ball. With Diontae Johnson and George Pickens on his side, these last 5 minutes might be all he needs to take over his competitors.
