George Pickens blames snow for Steelers loss, calls Browns a bad team

0 7

The cope is real with this one.

George Pickens had himself a night on Thursday Night Football, and not in a good way. The Steelers receiver is coming under fire on Friday morning for his lack of focus what would have been the game-winning Hail Mary, then in the locker room he took a massive dose of copium before blaming the weather for the loss.

Saying “I think the conditions kind of saved them today” is a pretty wild take coming from a Pittsburgh player who routinely needs to deal with identical weather conditions in the winter. Also, it’s not like the snow forced him to fight with Greg Newsome on the Hail Mary play, rather than actually try and post up for a catch and potentially win the game.

Meanwhile in the Browns’ locker room players were overheard trash talking Pickens for his lack of effort and focus on the play.

There’s no other way to spin this for Pittsburgh than embarrassing. They lost to a 2-8 Browns team and squandered their chance to put a vice grip on the AFC North ahead of the playoffs. Now the door is open for the Ravens to storm back in, while Cleveland gets to surf on the good vibes of sticking it to a division rival.

The snow wasn’t the problem on Thursday night, effort was.
