The bad news is that the return of WR Diontae Johnson has not prevented defenses from committing extra defenders to try to take WR Geoge Pickens out of the game. Or rather, that’s the good news, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, who welcomes teams’ willingness to focus their attentions on the budding young star.
“They were playing two-on-one football”, he told Bob Pompeani on the Mike Tomlin Show when asked about how the Jacksonville Jaguars largely kept Pickens from making plays throughout the game—aside from his touchdown, of course.
“And really, that’s a good sign to be quite honest with you”, Tomlin continued.
