George Pickens gets into physical altercation following INT
While fans of the Black and Gold were disappointed to witness QB Russell Wilson throw a third-quarter interception on what should have been a crucial scoring drive for the Pittsburgh Steelers, WR George Pickens may have taken his frustrations a step too far.
Pickens, no stranger to drama and often showcasing immaturity in moments that demand poise and composure, had shown signs of improvement in his attitude in recent weeks.
However, the third-year receiver out of Georgia took a step backward in Week 10’s contest by engaging in a grappling match with Commanders CB Mike Sainristil.
Fans can appreciate the passion and energy Pickens brings to the Steelers but could do without these unsportsmanlike tendencies.
If addressed during the post-game press conference, it will be interesting to hear Head Coach Mike Tomlin's reaction to the incident. While it seems unlikely the NFL would fine Pickens for the altercation, stranger things have happened in this league recently.
