"Pickens has had four 100+-yard games this year. Dallas is 2-1-1 in those games. His first game of the season, against the Eagles, was his worst yardage wise. He had 30 yards on three catches with four targets. But Pickens hadn't had a game with fewer than 57 yards since. Until Thursday night. He finished with 37 yards on five catches with nine targets. He also had a ball clang off his hands for an interception to set up a Lions touchdown."
"On Thursday night, Pickens may have finally shown why the Steelers unloaded him during the spring. He seemed disinterested in running routes. He also seemed angry at times. Pickens (lack of) effort on Thursday is perfectly shown in this compilation: TRENDING: Dallas #Cowboys fans are concerned about wide receiver George Pickens who showed a MAJOR LACK OF EFFORT tonight. Pickens seemed disinterested all night, long and angry throughout the game. George ran multiple lazy routes. This is REALLY BAD 😳"
George Pickens appeared disengaged and occasionally angry during a Thursday night game, showing lackluster route-running and multiple lazy routes. Social-media clips captured fans' concern over a major lack of effort. Pickens finished with 37 yards on five catches from nine targets and dropped a pass that was intercepted and led to a Lions touchdown. He had four 100+-yard games earlier this season, including 144 yards and a score against the Raiders and 146 yards and a score against the Eagles, contributing to Dallas wins. He and CeeDee Lamb were benched for the opening series in Las Vegas for disciplinary reasons. Pittsburgh traded Pickens in May for mid-round picks.
