After the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals, Mike Tomlin made it clear George Pickens needs to mature quickly. Pickens got called for two unnecessary penalties against the Bengals. That isn’t terrible in a vacuum, but it just adds to the long list of issues he’s created. Pickens’ attitude has been a problem. Ben Roethlisberger was surprised and impressed with Tomlin’s message to Pickens.
“I don’t know that I remember him doing that to a receiver in a long time, like a number one like that,” Roethlisberger said Tuesday on his podcast, Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger.
