In a game where the offense was again stagnant for most for the game, we saw fireworks by the Pittsburgh Steelers offensively when the game came down to the wire. The player who delivered arguably the biggest splash for Pittsburgh’s offense? WR George Pickens.
Pickens finished the game with six receptions on ten targets for 130 yards and a touchdown, the game-winner late in the fourth quarter that put Pittsburgh up 14-10 with 1:17 left in the game.
Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about Pickens’ performance on the day in the post-game press conference, stating that his competitiveness shined when Pittsburgh needed it most in a competitive atmosphere against their hated AFC North rival.
