Film Room: George Pickens Is Unleashed Against The Jets In Russell Wilson’s First Start

The Pittsburgh Steelers dismantled the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football, winning 37-15 in convincing fashion. It was QB Russell Wilson’s first start of the season, and his strong performance coming off the calf injury propelled WR George Pickens to arguably his best performance of 2024 to date, catching five-of-nine targets for 111 yards (22.2 YPR) and a touchdown.

THE FILM

George Pickens got started in the second quarter with 11:35 left on the clock, with Pittsburgh facing second-and-long. Pickens aligns at the bottom of your screen against #26 Brandin Echols and runs a fade up the sideline against the cornerback when the ball is snapped, coming back to the ball to catch the back shoulder throw by Wilson along the sideline.
