Thus far through two games, WR George Pickens is a large portion of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ passing game. That isn’t uncommon for top receivers, of course, but the Steelers are getting relatively little from everyone else. That goes especially for the other wide receivers, who have done next to nothing so far.
The problem is, the Steelers aren’t even getting the production they should when they target Pickens. And that’s everybody but Pickens’ fault, pretty much. As I talked about yesterday, he already has 135 hidden yards this year, most of which they lost via penalty.
