Mitch Trubisky replaces Kenny Pickett and leads Steelers to upset win
Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky was benched a few weeks back in favor of rookie Kenny Pickett in Pittsburgh. But it didn’t take long for Trubisky to find his way back into the game and help lead a big upset in the process.
On Sunday, Trubisky came in relief of Pickett who took a big hit and had to leave the game due to an injury against Tampa Bay. That forced Trubisky to get back into the game and the quarterback played well.
Trubisky completed 9 of his 12 attempts for 144 yards and a touchdown, appearing in the second half of the 20-18 win:

Will Mitch Trubisky start in Week 7?
Pickett was being evaluated for a concussion which is why he had to leave the game. So he will have to clear protocol before he can play in Week 7.
If Pickett can’t go, the Steelers will turn to Trubisky for the Sunday Night Football matchup at Miami.
Carolina Panthers WR Robbie Anderson reportedly on the trade block
