George Pickens could face fine after end-of-game antics

George Pickens yanked Jourdan Lewis down by the facemask after the Steelers loss.

Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night was a real heartbreaker. After a long delay to the start of the game due to lightning, the Steelers and Cowboys butted heads with the Cowboys coming out on top 20-17 on a touchdown in the final seconds.

The Steelers got the ball back and tried one final trick play in hopes of a miracle that fell short. As the clock hit all zeroes, Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis decided to taunt Steelers wide receiver George Pickens with the football.

Pickens took exception to the showboating and calming yanked Lewis doing by his facemask. Pickens then casually walked away as if nothing had happend.

While we appreciate Pickens’ frustration, we can’t fault him for not wanting to have the football waived in his face after a loss. Pickens is almost sure to be fined by the NFL for the move but given the circumstances, we can’t blame him for an impulsive moment.
