With less than a minute left in that game, Pickett threw a game-winning touchdown pass to fellow rookie George Pickens to lead the team to a 13-10 win. 

The following week, Pickett led another comeback with a late touchdown pass to Najee Harris.

With those two wins, Pickett became the first rookie in NFL history to throw a game-winning touchdown pass in the final minute of the 4th quarter in back-to-back games.
