The Pittsburgh Steelers hoped that George Pickens returning would open up their offense last week. Unfortunately, his presence didn’t do much to get them past the Chiefs’ defense. His impact on the game is even a matter for debate, even if those involved have neutered certain angles.
Of interest is the interception Russell Wilson threw in the red zone last week. In-game, the broadcast faulted Pickens for not competing his route after a jam at the line. Even Wilson acknowledged after the game that he expected Pickens to do something different.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, however, denied that Pickens’ route had anything to do with the interception.
