If there is a Pittsburgh Steelers game on and WR George Pickens is playing, you can safely put money down on him making an impressive catch and trusting that you will get your investment back and then some. It’s to the point where great catches can be taken for granted just because you know a better one is just around the corner.
His 35-yard grab on the Steelers’ opening drive last night down to the Atlanta Falcons’ 1-yard line was quite the grab, to be sure. And yet it felt pedestrian to the man who has seen him catch any number of his own passes in more impressive fashion.
