PITTSBURGH -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis, who recovered the ball to end the game in the Cowboys’ 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, took aim at wide receiver George Pickens following their win. After the end of the play, Pickens grabbed Lewis by his facemask and threw him into the ground.

It sure feels like there’s something going with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. However, if you ask HC Mike Tomlin, there isn’t. After playing just 35 total offensive snaps in Week 5’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys (3-26-0 on seven targets) — the fewest offensive snaps he’s played yet in any NFL game (regular or postseason) in his career per NFL Next Gen Stats — Tomlin says that he was limited due to “snap management” and not because he was benched or any other underlying story.

The Pittsburgh Steelers gave their fans plenty of reason for concern during the 2024 offseason, particularly with the surprising decision to trade away star wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
