- Prime Video analyst Richard Sherman said Pickens looked uninterested and disengaged, questioning his reliability in key moments.
- Pickens responded with an expletive-laden social media post directed at Sherman that he later deleted.
- Schottenheimer said he will speak with Pickens, emphasized judging him by his season body of work, and said the film did not show a lack of effort.
- Owner Jerry Jones cautioned against questioning Pickens’ effort and said he is not concerned going forward, as contract decisions loom with Pickens in a contract year and the franchise tag a possibility.
