Mike Tomlin has been a staunch defender of George Pickens, but after Pickens committed two personal fouls during Sunday's win over the Bengals, the Steelers coach acknowledged that something has to change regarding his young wideout.

Third-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens drew the ire of his head coach for drawing two costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty flags in Sunday's 44-38 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In Pittsburgh’s 44–38 victory, Pickens was called for two unsportsmanlike penalties, one for taunting a Bengals defender and one for celebrating a first down by appearing to mimic finger guns.
