description

With a quarterback change at the eleventh hour and new faces across the offensive line, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense had some potential question marks in Week 1; the afternoon’s answers soon arrived through the big-play ability of George Pickens. Put in a receiver’s dream scenario — a one-on-one matchup with no safety help over the top — Pickens rocketed downfield, leveraging the Atlanta Falcons’ cornerback perfectly for a 40-yard catch. Pickens left big plays all over his tape in Week 1’s 18-10 win on Sept. 8, 2024, leading the way with six catches (on seven targets) for 85 yards, setting up multiple scoring drives.
