“He Owns the AFC North”: Pittsburgh Fans React to Steelers Rookie Kenny Pickett’s Superhit Preseason Debut

AFC North has a new champion in their armory and he performed like a beast in his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The preseason game witnessed rookie Kenny Pickett and his heroics for the first time on the professional turf. The Steelers are delighted to have him on their side as they now have a young QB that could fill in the shoes of Ben Roethlisberger.

Pickett completed 13 of 15 passes throwing for 95 yards against the Seahawks in his first game for the Steelers. Additionally, he scored two phenomenal touchdowns that put him on the center stage of the game. Kenny’s passer rating was 132.6, and he was responsible for scoring the game-winning touchdown in his very first game. Looks like the Steelers can count on him in their regular season games if he continues to perform like this.

Moreover, Twitter fans appeared not to hold back from hailing the new hero of the AFC North. It is widely popular that Ben Roethlisberger owned the AFC North during his playing days with the Steelers, but fans have a different opinion now that they have witnessed Pickett in action.

Further, even the NFL posted a tweet acknowledging the game-winning touchdown score by Pickett. Every Steelers fan and ardent follower of the NFL poured in their appreciation for the rookie who stole the show in his very first game in pro football.
