It only took one week to prove Steelers' offseason WR swap has become a disaster

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a fantastic spot following Week 16. Not only did they upset the Detroit Lions 29-24, but the Baltimore Ravens choked a 24-13 fourth-quarter lead on Sunday night against the New England Patriots. That gives the Steelers two different ways to clinch the AFC North before their grudge match with the Ravens in Week 18.

Despite all of the positivity surrounding the Steelers right now, there is an undeniable truth that was made clear in Week 16.

Pittsburgh's decision to move on from George Pickens this offseason seemed to be justified at first, with the talented but immature receiver wearing out his welcome over his three seasons with the Steelers.
