Jets strike late, spoil debut of QB Pickett with Steelers

Rookie Breece Hall ran for a 2-yard TD with 16 seconds left as the visiting New York Jets spoiled quarterback Kenny Pickett’s Steelers debut with a 24-20 victory.

The Jets (2-2) won in Pittsburgh for the second time in franchise history after QB Zach Wilson — making his season debut — led them down the field late after the second of Pickett’s three interceptions with 3:42 to go. Wilson threw for 252 yards and a TD with two interceptions. He also became the first Jets QB to catch a TD pass.

Pickett, a rookie first-round draft pick, replaced shaky starter Mitch Trubisky after halftime, when the Steelers (1-3) trailed

10-6. Pickett was 10 of 13 passing for 120 yards. He also became the first NFL QB to run for two TDS in his debut.
