PITTSBURGH (AP) The Kenny Pickett the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted the swaggy, sublimely confident and ultra-competitive quarterback who practically willed the University of Pittsburgh to an ACC title two years ago is not always the Kenny Pickett that takes the field.Not yet anyway.More than a full season into Pickett's career as an NFL starter, he remains very much a work in progre s. At least during the game's Russell Westbrook Jersey first three quarters, when consistency, accuracy and rhythm seem elusive.Things change over the final 15 minutes. The happy feet he sometimes displays in the pocket calm. The touch that can temporarily abandon him returns. And his quarterback rating and the results skyrocket.ADVERTISEMENT Hes awesome in the fourth quarter, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. Man, he rises up in those moments.The key for Pittsburgh (5-3) if it wants to stay in the middle of the hotly contested AFC North race is finding a way to have whatever magic Pickett summons in the final frame expand to the first three quarters. He'll get another chance Sunday when James Johnson Jersey Green Bay (3-5) visits Acrisure Stadium.Its consistency, Pickett said. Weve shown that we can do it, but we dont do it consistently through those quarters where the lead couldve been much greater heading into that fourth, where we didnt have to win it in the fourth.Not that it has mattered. Four of Pittsburgh's five victories this season have come in games it has trailed heading into the fourth. Yet the Steelers keep finding a way to survive when things get tight thanks to one of the most opportunistic defenses in the league and a quarterback who only truly looks like a franchise cornerstone when he absolutely has to.It beats the alternative.As long as you find ways to win, thats all that matters, Pickett said.The same goes for Green Bay first-year starter Jordan Love, who rebounded from five largely listle s performances by throwing for 228 yards with a touchdown and no picks last Sunday.Like Pickett, Love oversees an offense that has trouble getting going. Unlike Pickett, however, Love has often been a factor in his team's struggles. The win over Los Angeles was Love's first game without an interception since Week 2. And now he faces a defense that is third in the NFL in takeaways (16).They do a good job of creating some chaos and getting those turnovers and thats the key for us is to not let that happen in this game, Andre Roberson Jersey Love said.PICKENS' PLIGHTSteelers wide receiver George Pickens downplayed the idea , even though cameras caught him seemingly sulking after teammate Diontae Johnson's go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.Maybe, but there's little doubt Pickens wants to be more involved after being limited to three catches for 21 yards over the last two games after averaging 4.5 receptions for 82.5 yards over Pittsburgh's first six contests.Hes an unbelievable player, Pickett said. Moving him around, having him do some different things, not being Jerami Grant Jersey a sitting target where they can count on him being in one place is a start.RELYING ON ROOKIESWith the NFLs youngest roster, the Packers have been relying quite a bit on their rookie cla s. Those rookies will try to build on the momentum they established against the Rams.Tight end Luke Musgrave scored his first career touchdown and Anthony Johnson Jr. got his first interception in that game. Carrington Valentine had three pa ses defensed, and defensive lineman Karl Brooks had two more. Anders Carlson went 2 of 3 on field-goal attempts. Lukas Van Ne s had a tackle for lo s. Dontayvion Wicks lost a fumble, but also had four catches for 49 yards. Emanuel Wilson had a 31-yard run.Jayden Reed had just three catches for 19 yards in that game, but he has a team-high 333 yards receiving this season.HANDLING THE RUNRun defense has been one of Green Bays biggest weakne ses throughout Matt LaFleurs five-year coaching tenure, but the Packers have stepped up in that regard the last couple of weeks.The Packers gave up just 62 yards on 31 carries in a 24-10 lo s to the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 29. They followed that up by allowing 68 yards on 26 carries in their victory over the Rams.CANADA ON THE MOVEPittsburgh offensive coordinator Matt Canada will be on the sideline for a second straight game. The club moved Canada from the coach's box Frank Jackson Jersey in an effort to provide Canada with a different perspective and allow for more collaboration. The early results were promising. The Steelers ran for a season-high 166 yards and scored an opening-drive touchdown for the first time this season.The reviews were positive, Tomlin said. And so, well continue to work in that area. And well probably continue to turn other things over in an effort to continue to improve.___AP Sports Writer Steve Megargee in Green Bay contributed.___AP NFL:
