Right before the half in Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, WR George Pickens seemed poised to celebrate in the end zone for the first time this season. Open in the left flat, QB Justin Fields hit him, Pickens stayed inbounds and reached across the pylon before falling for what appeared to be a 6-yard touchdown.
But it was called back on a questionable offensive pass interference call, the officials believing WR Van Jefferson interfered with a Broncos’ player. Alas, Pickens will have to wait.
While that penalty could’ve been frustrating, Pickens took the moment in stride.
