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 the clock ran out.
On a Hail Mary attempt, Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II covered Pickens and the play continued through the back of the end zone as the ball was batted down, ending the game. With the ball still in the air, Pickens had grabbed Newsome and pulled him through the end zone. The two players began brawling outside the back of the end zone.
Amazon Prime Video showed Pickens being restrained shortly afterwards as other players met in midfield to exchange handshakes.
This is far from the first time Pickens has performed a questionable act on the field or become a distraction for the Steelers.
The Steelers have put up with a lot from Pickens, especially since he is their best receiver. The coaches won’t like seeing the film of him starting a fight at the end of Thursday night’s game.
After the game, he didn’t give the Browns any credit for a 24–19 victory.
“The conditions played a big, big role in today’s match. I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all,” Pickens said, via Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
