PITTSBURGH -- Speaking for the first time since the Sunday night loss to the Cowboys, Steelers wide receiver George Pickens dismissed questions about the explicit message on his eye black and the postgame incident with Dallas defensive back Jourdan Lewis.

Pickens wore eye black that read "Open F---ing Always" for Sunday night's game, and after a game-ending, failed hook-and-lateral attempt, Pickens yanked Lewis down by the facemask as Lewis ran by him and appeared to say something to the mercurial receiver.

"It's just eye black," Pickens said, asked if there was a purpose behind the eye black's message.
