Pickens turned things around by scoring a touchdown on the next drive.
Morale was low for the Pittsburgh Steelers at the beginning of the AFC North matchup vs. the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after quarterback Russell Wilson threw an interception one minute into the team's first drive of the game.
The pass was intended for Steelers receiver George Pickens, and he seemed to take on a lot of the blame for the turnover as he walked over the sidelines. A video went viral of coach Mike Tomlin seeming to motivate him, which worked out as Pickens scored a 17-yard touchdown on the team's next drive. The audio of this exchange was finally released on Tuesday and fans can hear what Tomlin told his star receiver to keep his head up.
"Hey bro, it can’t define us today. I need you to stay with me," Tomlin said while holding Pickens's head. "This s--- ain't gonna decide the outcome of the game. ... Look at me. You aight? All right, let's go."“Hey bro, it can’t define us today. I need you to stay with me. Hey this shit ain’t gonna decide the outcome of the game. It ain’t gonna decide the outcome of the game. Look at me, you aight? Alright, let’s go.
