In a big spot at home against the Cincinnati Bengals, needing a win to lock themselves into the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture, the Pittsburgh Steelers received a career-worst performance from standout wide receiver George Pickens, who closed the regular season in rather frustrating fashion.
Against the Bengals, Pickens had just one catch for zero yards on six targets. He also dropped three passes in the game, too.
Despite that tough night, veteran QB Russell Wilson has all the faith in the world in Pickens now and moving forward.
Speaking to reporters after the 19-17 loss to the Bengals that dropped the Steelers to 10-7 on the season, Wilson backed Pickens after the disastrous night.
