Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens became a social media sensation after a comical moment during a fumble recovery in their Week 8 game against the New York Giants. As players fell to the ground, Pickens showcased his agility by deftly avoiding the pile-up, creating a memorable 10-second clip that entertained fans online.
Despite the lighthearted moment, Pickens had a solid performance with four receptions for 74 yards, although he missed out on two potential touchdowns due to penalties and an out-of-bounds call. The Steelers secured a 26-18 victory, improving their record to 6-2 and maintaining their lead in the AFC North as they head into a bye week.
