Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens celebrated Christmas weekend in style by hauling in nearly 200 yards and two touchdowns on just four catches against the Cincinnati Bengals by the start of the fourth quarter.
Pickens even got into the festive spirit by attaching two mouthguards to his helmet, one red and one green.
You don’t often see football players wear two mouthguards during a game, but Pickens wasn’t about to let his marquee performance go without a little Christmas joy. He picked the perfect colors to celebrate the holiday!
While the Bengals probably wished he wasn’t nearly as successful as he was, Pickens proved that he’s going to get plenty in his stocking on Christmas morning for how well he was playing against an AFC North rival.
