It is the first of what the Steelers hope is many touchdowns for Pickett in the upcoming season after Mike Tomlin pulled the trigger to bring Kenny Pickett in at half time.
After the touchdown, the Steelers now lead the Jets 13-10. Pickett has thrown only two passes thus far, an interception and a shovel pass to tight end Zach Gentry.
Pittsburgh had put 139 yards of total offense thus far on the day. Mitch Trubisky ends his game with an interception on 7 of 13 passing for 84 yards. Pittsburgh has now scored five touchdowns offensively throughout their first four games.
