Steelers WR George Pickens on the rematch with Browns DB Newsome: 'I don't even know who that is'
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is adding a little fuel to his team's rematch with Cleveland
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens doesn't appear too worried about a rematch with Cleveland defensive back Greg Newsome II.
Two weeks after Pickens and Newsome ended Cleveland's 24-19 upset of the Steelers by crashing into the snow-laden stands, Pickens went full “Mean Girls” and feigned ignorance when asked if he expected to talk to Newsome — who labeled Pickens a “fake tough guy” in the aftermath — before kickoff when the teams meet again Sunday in Pittsburgh.
“I don't even know who that is,” Pickens said flatly.
In the very off chance Pickens needs a refresher, he and Newsome spent the final snap at snowy Huntington Bank Stadium wrestling all the way down the field, into the end zone and beyond during Pittsburgh's ill-fated Hail Mary attempt on the last snap.
