Howard's picks threaten Steelers roster spot

Will Howard, the Steelers' sixth-round pick, threw two interceptions in a 17-0 preseason loss to the Jets. Despite completing 10 of 15 passes for 74 yards in four drives, Howard's only non-turnover drives resulted in three-and-outs. forumteam.blog

Howard took responsibility for the interceptions, saying "Both of them were unfortunate. Just can't happen." However, coach Mike McCarthy suggested receiver Roman Wilson may have been partially at fault, noting "those two plays were not clean." The performance comes after Howard impressed in his NFL debut a week ago, but the "crowded house" at quarterback now has reason to become less crowded.
