The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a tough 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, and George Pickens wasn’t ready to stop fighting just because time ran out.
On the Hail Mary attempt, Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II covered Pickens and the action continued through the back of the end zone when the ball was snapped, ending the game. With the ball still in the air, Pickens grabbed Newsome and dragged him through the end zone. Two players started fighting out of the back of the end zone.
Amazon Prime Video showed Pickens being restrained shortly after as the other players converged at midfield to exchange hands.
This is far from the first time Pickens has had a questionable act on the field or been a distraction for the Steelers.
The Steelers have suffered a lot from Pickens, mainly because he is their best receiver. Coaches won’t love to see film of him starting the battle when Thursday night is over.
Then after the game, the Browns didn’t concede a 24-19 victory.
“The conditions played a huge role in today’s match. I really don’t think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all,” Pickens said, via Alan Saunders of Steelers Now .
Newsome had his own words after the game, describing Pickens in three words:
Pickens finished the game with four catches and 48 yards on seven carries.
