JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Kenny Pickett’s second preseason performance was as impressive as his first, and it came against better competition. Pittsburgh’s rookie quarterback completed 6 of 7 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in a 16-15 victory at Jacksonville on Saturday night. Pickett, who threw two second-half TD passes while working with backups against Seattle last week, was on the field much earlier against the Jaguars (0-3). He played with and against starters and fit right in.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are planning on playing more of their starters, but the Jacksonville Jaguars will be without several players in Week 2 of the preseason.
