Head Coach Mike Tomlin has prepared WR George Pickens well for the Cleveland Browns’ trash-talking strategy. After a 2024 season filled with immature antics and emotional outbursts from Pickens, both on and off the field, it’s no secret that every NFL team facing the Pittsburgh Steelers will focus on trying to get the wide receiver to snap.
Browns CB Greg Newsome II was involved in Pickens’ biggest altercation of the season, with the two clashing in a brawl following the Steelers’ Week 12 loss. However, Newsome has continued his trash talk of the Steelers receiver ahead of their Week 14 rematch.
Pickens, speaking to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, showcased newfound maturity by dismissing the noise and offering a subtle jab at Newsome, stating, “I don’t even know who that is.”

It’s admirable for Pickens to adopt this attitude pre-game, but all eyes will be on the Steelers wide receiver to see if he can maintain his composure during Week 14’s contest against the Cleveland Browns. Fans can witness the potential drama unfold on December 8 at 1:00 PM EST.
