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.

Steelers lose heartbreaker to Cowboys on 4th-down TD pass in final minute

The Steelers defense got carved up by the Cowboys on Sunday night.

This story was updated because an earlier version included an inaccurate headline.

After weather delayed kickoff by about 90 minutes, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys squared off on Sunday night in a battle of two of the most popular teams in the league. The Cowboys dominated in the boxscore, but the Steelers held on to a lead heading into the final few minutes. But on fourth-and-goal, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott connected with wide receiver Jalen Tolbert to pull off the 20-17 win.

This loss drops the Steelers to 3-2 on the season and puts them in a tie for the top spot in the AFC North with the Baltimore Ravens.

Offensively, the Steelers struggled to find consistency on the ground, which hindered any opportunity for quarterback Justin Fields to get into a rhythm in the passing game.

Defensively, the Steelers were scorched by Prescott to the tune of 352 yards passing. The Steelers lost edge rusher Nick Herbig in the first half and failed to generate any sort of pass rush other than from T.J. Watt, allowing Prescott to march down the field for the game-winning score.

But the Steelers almost secured victory moments before the pass to Tolbert. On second-and-goal from the 1, Elandon Roberts flew over the line of scrimmage and torpedoed running back Rico Dowdle. The ball popped out and lay on the turf, and for a brief moment it appeared a Steeler would fall on it and end the game. But Prescott alertly dived on it.

The Steelers have lost two in a row and now have to prepare for a long road trip out west next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin gives perfect 3-word description of T.J. Watt’s struggles

T.J. Watt faces waves of blockers and still finds way to make plays.

Prior to the start of Sunday night’s showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, head coach Mike Tomlin sat down with NBC analyst Tony Dungy to talk a little ball before the start of the game.

As Dungy and Tomlin broke down some film of the last time the Steelers and Cowboys squared off, Dungy asked Tomlin about edge defender T.J. Watt. As he did, they threw up a video of Watt setting up to rush the passer and the Cowboys had three defenders set to block in.

Tomlin offered up the perfect response when he said “Such is life” for Watt.

No pass rusher in the NFL faces more heat than Watt. He is chipped more than any other player in the NFL by nearly double and that doesn’t even include when he’s just double and triple-teamed. Not to mention all the holds Watt deals with that are never called by the officials.

Steelers vs Cowboys: Official predictions

Cast your vote as we give you our predictions for this week’s game.

NFL experts are split on this week’s showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys. This game really is that close as both teams come in with injuries and questions but a deep level of urgency to keep pace in their divisions.

Both teams are going to lean heavily on their quarterbacks and top receiver with the Steelers being led by Justin Fields and George Pickens. Last week the Steelers vaunted defense took a hit last week and we expect them to take it out on the Cowboys with a bounce-back performance.

Here are our Steelers Wire staff picks for this week.

Head coach Mike Tomlin is known for his ability to get back on track after a loss. You factor in this is a home game and a prime-time game and I think the Steelers are going to be too much for a Dallas defense minus its two best pass rushers. Steelers 27, Cowboys 17Curt Popejoy, Managing Editor

After growing confident and complacent through the first three weeks of football, the Pittsburgh Steelers came crashing back down to earth with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.  While their Week 5 competition, the Dallas Cowboys, is Pittsburgh’s toughest opponent so far in 2024, the Steelers have a fire in their hearts once again.  The Steelers lean on the offense and pick up the victory: 31-21 PittsburghAndrew Vasquez, Contributor

The Steelers have been rolling along unbeaten in seven games and will look to make it 8-0 when they take on a struggling Dallas Cowboys offense. Dallas has been injury-prone all year and is still on their third-string backup quarterback, who is searching for a win.
