SteelersGeorge Pickens Abruptly Ends Interview Over Question About Interception

The wide receiver pushed back on a reporter's phrasing of a question about a miscommunication with quarterback Russell Wilson during a Week 17 play.

  • George Pickens walked out of a media session after being asked about a miscommunication with Russell Wilson that led to an interception against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17.
  • The question, posed by reporter Alan Saunders, referenced Wilson's earlier comments about expecting Pickens to run a different route during the play.
  • Pickens appeared frustrated by the phrasing of the question, challenging whether Wilson had actually said they were 'not on the same page.'
  • Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin defended Pickens, stating that his route running was not to blame for the interception and downplaying any tension on the team.
  • The incident has reignited discussions about Pickens' maturity and his history of on-field frustrations, despite his strong performance this season, nearing 1,000 receiving yards.
