Part of the problem was wide receiver George Pickens, who finished with only three catches for 26 yards on the night. He went viral for melting down and going at cornerback Jourdan Lewis after the final whistle and overall did not have a good night out there. He also wasn't out there very much.

Suppose you were paying attention Sunday night during the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In that case, you might have noticed that wide receiver George Pickens was conspicuously absent at seemingly important junctures in the game.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had just the third most snaps out of all wide receivers in their 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III each outsnapped Pickens, who played just 34 out of 58 possible snaps, while the other two played 47 out of the 58 possible snaps.
