Steelers receiver George Pickens had some choice words for the Jaguars’ defense before Sunday’s game between Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. It was the Jags who had the last laugh, though.
“I think their D-line, they depend on their D-line a lot,” Pickens said Thursday. “With their team, you know, having a lot of first-round guys, that D-line, that’s what they depend on a lot and they kind of, you know, hope, you know what I mean? Hope the guys hold up long enough. It’s kind of a hope defense.”
That defense held Pickens in check on Sunday, though. He caught one of five passes thrown his way. The only catch he had was a 22-yard touchdown where he hurdled through two defenders. It was an impressive play, but it was the only one he made all day, and a couple members of the Jacksonville defense let him hear it after the game.
