The ESPN broadcast confirmed Pickens entering into it with followers on the stadium. One among Pickens’ teammates needed to step in and get him to concentrate on the sport as an alternative of those that have been speaking trash to him on the sideline.
Pickens didn’t converse to the media after the sport. Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson expressed assist for him.
“I imagine in George,” Wilson stated, by way of ESPN. “Pay attention, every thing’s not all the time good for everybody. That is an imperfect recreation and every thing else. I imagine in George, I imagine in who he’s, the participant that he’s.

“He is been a star for us all season, and he will be a difference-maker clearly for us within the playoffs. I am wanting ahead to that and what he can do, what we will do collectively. And I am not blinking on George. If anyone believes in him, I undoubtedly do.”
Pickens’ lackadaisical effort has been an underlying theme of the Steelers’ season.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin even got here out and stated Pickens wanted to “develop up in a rush.”
