‘Glad He’s Our Teammate’: Russell Wilson Defends George Pickens For Hail-Mary Scuffle

George Pickens has caught flak for his actions on the final Hail-Mary play against the Cleveland Browns, but Russell Wilson isn’t fanning those flames.

It appeared as if no Steelers players were making a play on the ball, and that was because Pickens was meant to be the point guy to go up for the catch. The only problem was that he was too busy fighting with Greg Newsome II in the back of the end zone. Wilson was asked if he’s had conversations with Pickens to state the importance of him sticking to the plan of being the point man on that play.
