description

Star Steelers receiver George Pickens had already had himself a night when the offense lined up for this third-and-one play early in the third quarter of this late-season divisional matchup, but Pickens was ready to strike again. With the blitz coming, the quarterback had to get the ball out quick, and he did just that, lofting a beautiful pass down the left sideline in Pickens' direction. He separated from the defender, made a great over-the-shoulder grab, and then accelareted away from the defense and to the end zone for the score. Pickens finished this one with a career-high 195 yards and two touchdowns on just four catches, as Pittsburgh beat the Bengals, 34-11, on Dec. 23, 2023.
