Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was livid in the immediate aftermath of Thursday night’s loss to the Cleveland Browns and likely landed himself in hot water with the league.
Pickens was caught on camera throwing Cleveland cornerback Greg Newsome II into a wall after an attempt at a Hail Mary, then trying to unload on him before being held back.

George Pickens Frustrated By The Browns
The Browns scored a shocking 24-19 win over a hot Steelers team on a snowy night in Cleveland. The conditions at Huntington Bank Field made the game a lot more complicated than it should have been.
Pickens had a rather subdued outing, making four receptions for 48 yards, and was left frustrated on multiple plays where he felt he should have gotten calls.
