George Pickens gets into fight during Hail Mary play
Leave it to George Pickens to get into it with an opponent and some fans during a Pittsburgh Steelers game.
Pickens’ Steelers lost 24-19 to the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday night. The Steelers were trailing for most of the game but had come back to take a fourth-quarter lead before falling behind again.
At the end, it came down to a Hail Mary attempt from Pittsburgh to win the game. On the play, Pickens got tied up with Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II, who seemed to be holding the Steelers receiver. The two ended up wrestling each other into the back of the end zone.

Not only did Pickens and Newsome get into it, but Pickens also appeared to have to be separated from some Browns fans in the end zone.

Pickens had 4 catches for 48 yards in the game. His team lost and he was tied up on the final play, so it’s understandable why he was upset — not that his behavior is excused.
