Cameras caught Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens performing a dirty move on Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship that should result in a fine from the NFL.
The Cowboys and Eagles reminded fans that there is no love lost between the two teams, even if there was plenty of roster turnover on both sides. Before the first play from scrimmage, Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
Well, let’s just say George Pickens was a little lucky to avoid an ejection for his unnecessary and dirty tactic on Reed Blankenship. Pickens was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for this cheap hit on Blankenship:
Fans are wondering about how George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb will coexist, given the former’s well-documented attitude problems in Pittsburgh that led to his trade to the Steelers.
Pickens had a quiet first half in his Cowboys debut, but such is life when you play against the league’s No. 1 defense from a year ago that features two elite cornerbacks in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
