The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially made a change at the quarterback position, naming rookie Kenny Pickett as the starter under center after replacing Mitch Trubisky at halftime of the Steelers Week 4 loss to the New York Jets. 

Trubisky, who started the first four games of the regular season, struggled in the first half against New York, completing seven of 13 passes for 84 yards and an interception. Pittsburgh managed just six points in the first half, prompting head coach Mike Tomlin to turn to Pickett in the second half.
