Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis had a brief postgame assessment of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens after Sunday’s 20-17 win.
Lewis called Pickens “weak” to a group of reporters as he walked back to the locker room:

Pickens finished with three receptions for 26 yards on seven targets. His most memorable contribution of the night was when he grabbed Lewis’ facemask after after the game ended.
Pickens has never lacked in self-confidence, and for Sunday’s game, he wrote “always f–king open” on his eyeblack.

The hype continues to surpass the on-field returns for the 23-year-old, though. In addition to his lackluster production against the Cowboys, his 34 offensive snaps were a career low. It was the first time ever he was on the field for fewer than 60 percent of Pittsburgh’s offensive plays.
