Third-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens' eye black during last Sunday's game against the Cowboys featured a message that included profanity.
The NFL rule that prohibits players from adding messages to eye black during games apparently was not on George Pickens' radar. The third-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver's eye black during a Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys featured an explicit word. The eye black strip, which stretched under his eyes, said, 'open f---ing always.' 'Never seen before,' Pickens said when asked if he was aware of the league's policy pertaining to eye black.
The eye black was just part of an eventful night for Pickens, who leads the Steelers in receptions and yards by a wide margin. Pickens also dragged Dallas cornerback Jourdan Lewis to the ground by his face mask on the game's final play and slammed his helmet so hard at the end of a scoreless Pittsburgh possession that it bounced over the bench. 'You know when it’s third down and you don’t convert, ,' Pickens said. 'A lot of fans mad as well.
While Tomlin lamented his team's inability to create 'splash' plays downfield — Pittsburgh's longest gain against the Cowboys was a 21-yard reception by Pickens — Smith doesn't think limiting Pickens' playing time also limits the Steelers' ability to gobble up yardage in big chunks.
