Cowboys cornerback Jordan Lewis got the last laugh on George Pickens.
As regulation was expiring during Sunday night’s game where the Cowboys beat the Steelers 20-17 on a final-minute touchdown, Pickens was flagged for facemasking Lewis in frustration over the loss. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens breaks a tackle by Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium.“Pittsburgh needs a receiver,” Lewis was captured saying as the Cowboys were walking through the tunnel to the locker room. “George Pickens is weak.
The altercation in question came as Lewis recovered a Steelers fumble on the desperation lateral play in which Pittsburgh was attempting a last-ditch effort to respond to the Cowboys’ touchdown, which came on a fourth-down connection from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert. Brutal details emerge about NFL star's alleged assault on girlfriend: 'Took off her clothing and put her outside'Pickens may also have been frustrated by his own lack of production in the game, as he caught just three passes — on seven targets — for 26 yards.Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin explained to reporters after the game that this was a strategy to try to keep Pickens fresh.“We just wanted to kind of minimize his reps in an effort to get more productivity,” Tomlin said.
