Kenny Pickett experienced a disappointing outing during his first start for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Philadelphia Eagles, a game that ended in a 31-0 rout. According to the Harrisburg Patriot-News, Pickett managed only 64 passing yards, threw an interception, and recorded a low passer rating of 47.9.

Steelers Depot reported that Pickett's performance included completing 15 of 25 attempts and taking four sacks, which has raised concerns about his viability as a starting quarterback moving forward. After a tumultuous career, having been traded multiple times and struggled to secure a starting position, Pickett's recent performance could lead to reduced playing time, especially if Geno Smith returns from injury.

The Steelers, currently fighting for playoff positioning, face challenges as they navigate the remainder of the season and evaluate their quarterback situation.
