The Steelers suffered a brutal loss to the Patriots on Thursday night, losing to a team that entered the game just two wins for the second consecutive week. Pittsburgh’s offense struggled the entire game, and wide receiver George Pickens especially had a tough night with five catches for just 19 yards.
Pickens showed his frustration throughout the game, as his body language revealed a wide receiver who seemed to be letting the lack of production get into his head. That included a moment in the second quarter when Pickens appeared to not fully commit to a block on a run play, something that commentator Kirk Herbstreit criticized on the Amazon Prime Video broadcast.
