A quarterback change that better suited him from a downfield passing attack perspective, and being more featured in the game plan helped unlock some of the best play George Pickens has had in his Pittsburgh Steelers career.
On Sunday night against the New York Jets, Pickens had a monster day, hauling in five passes for 111 yards and one touchdown, dominating from start to finish in the Steelers’ 37-15 win.
The fact that it came with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson inserted into the starting lineup isn’t all that suprising.
For Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt, Pickens seemingly took a star turn Sunday night and has the hope of the new dynamic connection in Pittsburgh being sky-high moving forward.
