The Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers meet on Sunday, Nov. 12. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

The Kenny Pickett the 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 progress. At least during the game’s 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.

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 Green Bay (3-5) visits Acrisure Stadium.

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.

When is Packers-Steelers?

The Packers and Steelers play at noon (1 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Nov. 12.
