Week 15 will be the first opportunity for quarterback Kenny Pickett to face the team that drafted him, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He isn’t expected to play with Jalen Hurts healthy and starting for the Philadelphia Eagles. But if it were up to some Eagles fans, Pickett would receive the opportunity to start his revenge game versus the Steelers in Week 15.
Pickett was trending on X (formerly Twitter) on December 9 and 10. Most of the tweets addressed the idea of Pickett replacing Hurts in the Philadelphia starting lineup.
“Jalen Hurts is not the answer,” one Eagles fan told reporter Kyle Pagan after Philadelphia’s Week 14 win. “We have a No. 1 defense, running back. Jalen Hurts is not the answer.”
While that fan didn’t mention Pickett, others did on social media.
“Listen to the people and start Kenny Pickett against the Steelers,” a X user tweeted.
“It’s time to start the very serious Kenny Pickett conversation,” an Eagles fan tweeted. “This team wins a Super Bowl if you put him on the field.”
“Kenny Pickett > Jalen Hurts,” wrote another social media user.
