The 27-year-old was benched in Vegas’ Week 18 win over the Chiefs after completing one of four passes for three yards and an interception. His other start was one of the worst games any quarterback had all season — a 15-of-25, 64-yard, dead-on-arrival clunker in a 31-0 loss to the Eagles. Perhaps Pickett can resurrect himself in a better situation.
