Kenny Pickett’s full NFL debut ends brutally in a slaughter of 38-3 from the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills opened the game up quickly on the third play of the game where Josh Allen hit Gabe Davis for a 98-yard touchdown, putting the Steelers down 7-0 almost immediately.
Buffalo would continue to be in business and get within field goal range on their next drive, but Cam Sutton would come up big and block a 49-yard attempt.
Pittsburgh would end up dipping their toes in the scoring pool with Chris Boswell knocking down a 29-yard attempt for a 7-3 score.
Tyler bass, the kicker for the Bills, would redeem himself on the next drive hitting a 31-yarder to make it a 10-3 game.
Steelers wouldn’t be able to produce much after that, punting the ball on three straight possessions.
Gabe Davis came up again in a big play, making an unreal one-handed catch as he fended off Minkah Fitzpatrick for a 62-yard touchdown, the lead would be extended to 17-3.
It kept pouring on the Steelers defense as Allen hit Stefon Diggs for another touchdown boosting the lead to 24-3 on a dominant half from Josh Allen.
Allen would end the half with yet another touchdown this time to Kahlil Shakir for 24-yards, ending his half with 348 passing yards and 4 touchdowns for a score of 31-3.
The onslaught wouldn’t be as brutal in the second half of the game, the Bills would only tack on one more touchdown on a 24-yard rush from James Cook.
Pickett would end his day going 34/52, throwing 327 yards, and one interception.
Najee Harris had 11 carries and only accumulated 20-yards.
George Pickens led the receiving end getting only 83 yards in 6 receptions.
The defense did not hold up only making 42 tackles, not even getting close to a sack on Josh Allen.
The Steelers are facing another tough test next week when they take on Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on Sunday.
