George Pickens is in the News After Getting Into a Brawl With a Browns’ Player
George Pickens, famed for his antics, is frequently seen arguing with other teams and even their supporters after losing.
Only a month had passed since the referees penalised Pickens for pulling down a Dallas Cowboys player by his facemask on the final play of a Week 5 loss.
The wide receiver got into another brawl, and this time, it was more than just tugging against another player.
Stadium personnel had to hold Pickens shortly after Pittsburgh’s failed Hail Mary against the Cleveland Browns.
In the waning seconds, quarterback Russell Wilson attempted to win the game with a deep ball to the end zone, but the pass fell incomplete, and the Browns won.
The Cleveland Browns upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 on Thursday night, and after the game, fans saw a strange sight.
George Pickens seized Browns cornerback Greg Newsome’s helmet on the play, tangled with him, and then pulled himself out of the game’s last play.
After the ball hit the ground, most players either dropped their heads in defeat or celebrated, but Pickens and Newsome fought on.

As soon as the officials observed the two fighting, a referee charged at them and ended the brawl with the help of stadium security.
Since the incident and the widely shared video, George Pickens’ personal life, particularly regarding his wife and partner, has attracted people’s interest.
