Former Pittsburgh Steelers and current Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has gone viral for a sideline crash out after a Cowboys interception on Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday due in part to two ugly interceptions. To be fair, neither interception was the fault of Pickens and his response was to a fluke interception where the ball got batted around before being hauled in a Buccaneers defender.
For Steelers fans, this kind of behavior is nothing new. Despite all his immense talent, Pickens' maturity was a big reason the team chose to trade him to the Cowboys. His skill set is elite among NFL wide receivers but his willingness to be a good teammate and show maturity on and off the field
became too much for the Steelers.
