Kenny Pickett replaced ex-Bears QB Mitch Trubisky originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Kenny Pickett did to Mitch Trubisky what Trubisky once did to Mike Glennon in 2017.
Pickett replaced ex-Chicago Bear Trubisky after halftime of Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers-New York Jets game. Trubisky is serving as the bridge quarterback for Pickett's development, even though he had a real shot to become the team's starter.
Trubisky threw 7-for-13 in the pocket for 84 yards and one interception before the Steelers decided to bench the sixth-year veteran.
Pickett threw an interception immediately upon arriving in the game.
