This season has not gone according to plan for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. The Steelers traded away Diontae Johnson in hopes that Pickens would take up the role at the team's No. 1 receiver and finally tap into all that potential.

Instead, Pickens has been inconsistent, problematic and put on a snap management plan that doesn't have him on the field in key moments. But don't blame him. He was asked about his handling of the ugly moments this season and if he thought he could do better.

Instead of taking any responsibility for his actions, he chose to blame the officials for making the calls.

“I wouldn’t really say that," Pickens said. "It’s all on the refs. That should show you where the refs are this season”

Spoiler alert: It's probably not all on the refs. Pickens performance and moreso his attitude have been less than stellar this season and just deflecting on the officials isn't going to make anything better.
