Over the last five days, all the attention has been placed on WR George Pickens. Over the next five, he’ll receive all the attention again. This time, for the right reasons.
After a media firestorm criticizing Pickens’ lack of effort blocking against the Indianapolis Colts, and his questionable explanations for it, Pickens did his talking on the field Saturday night. A monster performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, busting out for 195 yards and two 60-plus yard touchdowns, a career game for him and one of the best by a Steelers’ receiver in recent memory.
On the surface, it might seem like his night would quiet any questions the Steelers might’ve had about him in that locker room.
