According to Eagles great cornerback Darius Slay, the Philadelphia Eagles played to attempt to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers for Kenny Pickett. According to Slay’s Big Play Slay podcast, the squad was driven to win this game for Pickett because they believed the Steelers had wronged him by trading him and acquiring Russell Wilson.
Slay stated, “We were playing for our quarterback.” It hurts not to start quarterback Jalen. We are discussing Kenny Pickett. He is a wonderful man. We want to be excellent anyway, so I don’t want to suggest that our defense wouldn’t be great without Kenny Pickett, but he’s giving us a nice look on the scout team. Kenny, we also done that for you. A special thanks to my child, Kenny, who has been in that room with them and has helped us get ready for this week by providing us advice on what to look for.”
For the majority of the game, the Steelers offense was held down, managing only 13 points and 163 yards. The Steelers haven’t allowed that few yards in a game since 2010. They were completely outplayed in the trenches and only managed 11 plays throughout the second half.
Playing for the Steelers was strange, but life goes on, according to Pickett. He is content playing as the Eagles’ backup quarterback and has gotten past the turmoil.
