[Missi Matthews] Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett’s first start will come against the Bills #1 pass defense. The last rookie QB to beat the #1 pass defense in his first career start was Ben Roethlisberger in 2004

1. Hammering Pittsburgh at +14 now that I know this

2. 

3. This is the hopium I needed. Thank you.

4. “IF KENNY CAN’T BEAT THEM AND BEN DID WAY BACK DEN DEN WE NEEDTA CUT HIM LOOSE AN GET A NEW GUY IN THERE!” – someone’s uncle somewhere prolly that cranks a few brews too many

5. Can someone post the screenshot of the thumbnails so I can have it ready to send to my friends when he wins

6. Who was it that Ben beat that year with the #1 pass defense? Just curious

7. In which he went 12/22 for 163, winning against Miami 13-3

   Somehow I don’t think Buffalo is scoring only 3 points against us

8. All. In.

9. The sneaky part is that he’s going to do it by rushing for 4 TD’s.

10. This is the way

11. A lot of people think we should avoid putting a rookie in against a stout defense. I disagree. We aren’t winning games regardless. Might as well throw Pickett out there against a great D to gain valuable experience.

    Kenny isn’t a mental midget like other guys. His “confidence” will be fine.

12. The great prophecy

13. im starting Kenny in both my fantasy leagues. IDGAF.

14. Kenny just has to command the offense this game. He commands it with the ability he showed against the Jets we’ll have a chance to make this a game.

15. They won’t have film on him. The offense completely changes for them. Buffalo actually is in prime position to get sneaked on defense. This could be a shootout.

16. THE PICKLER throwing for 500

17. 

18. Could you imagine the chaos in this sub if they won this game? TJ Watt runs onto the field at halftime like god damn Bobby Boucher.

19. That team in 2004 had a good defense. Not so sure about this team without Watt.
