Historic ball thrown by Kenny Pickett, now in Pro Football Hall of Fame

Kenny Pickett is in Canton. Well a football he threw is.

After becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to throw a game-winning touchdown pass in the final minute of the fourth quarter in back-to-back games.


He did it against the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Eve in a game celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, just days after Franco Harris' death.

With 46 seconds left in the game, Picket hit fellow rookie, receiver George Pickens for a 14-yard, game-winning touchdown to give the Steelers a 13-10 win.

The following week, with 56 seconds left in the game, Pickett threw another touchdown, this one, a 10-yarder to running back Najee Harris to give the Steelers a 13-9 win.

The football that is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is from the December 24 game at Acrisure Stadium and is now part of the display in Canton.
