Players who were going to be in the spotlight for different reasons in Week 16 are off to a good start for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Mason Rudolph, replacing an ineffective Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback, hit George Pickens with a short pass in the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The discontented wideout turned on the speed and rolled through the Cincy secondary for an 86-yard TD play that gave the Steelers a 7-0 lead.
The route. The breakaway speed.
What a start for George Pickens and the @steelers.
