In Week 10, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Washington Commanders 28-27 in an incredible back-and-forth matchup. While the team can hold their heads high as they improve to 7-2 on the season, one Steelers player found himself in some on-field drama.
Toward the end of the third quarter, George Pickens added some unnecessary physicality against Commanders CB Mike Sainristil. After Russell Wilson threw an interception on a deep pass intended for Pickens, the Steelers wide receiver took the chance to show off his best imitation of a three-point takedown on Sainristil.
Video clips began circulating on social media, raising the question: did Pickens once again go too far?
Fans seem divided. While his actions may be detestable to some, the physicality reminds others of legendary wide receivers from the Steelers’ past.
Love it or hate it, here are some of the best fan reactions to Pickens’ on-field actions following Wilson’s interception in Week 10.
